Album Notes

London trio arco's second album on Dreamy Records follows the critically-lauded 2000 debut "coming to terms", and continues in the trademark arco style - delicate, thoughtful songs with music that takes up permanent residence in your head and lyrics that do the same in your heart.

"mesmeric... a sadder, mellower Belle & Sebastian" **** (Q magazine)
"a finer observer of human frailties would be hard to find" **** (The Guardian)
"there's a buzz going on about this band and they very well deserve it. (about.com)
"some of the most beautiful, fragile and ultimately euphoric music you?ll hear during this or indeed any year" (indiemusic.co.uk)
"this is the kind of music that will absolutely overwhelm you, and what's amazing is that it does it in such an unassuming way" (delusions of adequacy)
"quiet, fragile and reminiscent of the melodic beauty of nick drake... outstanding" (what's on magazine)
