Whispery female vocals and understated wafts of filmic indie jangle are the order of the day from these new signings to the ever-impressive Sub Pop label. Sounding like it was made to soundtrack thoughtful montages in black and white foreign films, and pitching up somewhere between Our Broken Garden and Saint Etienne at their most reflective, this is a fine debut album. Tessa Murray’s voice is gorgeously fragile and the backdrop will lift you out of encroaching grim winter evenings.
