music, books, love and kindness

This album is amazing!! It's what you would get if you took the Squirrel Nut Zippers, some of the Fratellis (of whom founding member Jon Lawler appears here as half of the Codeine Velvet Club) and 60s Vegas lounge.

"They conjure up a Sixties-inspired sound that's equal parts Phil Spector's teenage symphonies and John Barry's sharp 007 soundtracks" - News of the World

I love all of the tracks, but my favorite ones are "The Black Roses", "Little Sister," "Reste Avec Moi" and "Like a Full Moon." The underlying dark atmosphere and sensual give and take between both singers has made me change my mind about duets for the better!
