Crumb are that rare thing in an era of self-conscious art rock and retro's 80's guitar acts - an indie pop band. This album is full of bittersweet, jangly guitar pop and boasts vocal harmonies on a par with Teenage Fanclub and melodies with tinges of New Order, The Beautiful South, and The Go-Betweens, while the 12 string Rickenbacker guitar calls to mind REM. 'Lights of the City' and 'Fecky the Ninth' set the pace, while 'Follow Me Home' and For The Leaving Of...' are stand out tracks that just won't get out of your head.
