Get on here to give their new album a twirly whirl. The somber sounds of the fiddle fondlers seems strangely sober compared to that of the past album. The main theme of the album is that of someones heart being broken and the underlying purpose of the tracks are deeply reflectful of new starts and the painful struggle that the heart has put apon their music.
The tune the Love of an Orchestra provides the album with its first real spice and pinache. It isn't the upbeat jiggery pokery that we became accustom to during the first album. Whether its them being out of the city for too long, or being on the road with too many rolling folk I don't know but the approach is different and reminds me of listening to depressing but masterful albums such as Radiohead's "Ok Computer" and Elvis Perkins two albums "In Dearland" and "Ash Wednesday".
Not what I was expecting from N&TW but I am sure it will grow on me in time...
