Lots to like but it does move at a pretty slow pace, kind of like the last Sparklehorse album. But sounding a little more like Grandaddy I guess. Have you listened to it much and what's your take? The stream is only about 28 minutes...is the CD that short too? That "Pink Lemonade" song sounds like vintage Neil Young fronting The Band in their cover of Dylan's "I Shall Be Released". Very nice. That whole middle section is stellar. Short, short, short, though.
It's actually a little shy of 28 minutes! After I noted that, was glad it was only $10, and not $16 or something. Only spun it twice so far, once in the car on Sunday, and once last nite, so I can't really speak very knowledgeably about it yet, but I do like what I'm hearing. You are correct about the slow pace, but the songs are all very pretty. If you think Unbunny's pace is slow, you'd be going in reverse listening to Born Heller.
