CD ReviewsPastoral Daze Michael S. Hillman | Calhoun, Ga. USA | 03/19/2007 (4 out of 5 stars) "The High llamas continue to mine the territory charted by Sgt. Pepper era Beatles and Pet Sounds era Brian Wilson. Though they are often criticized for that, it's hard for me to see how they can be faulted, especially since they do it so well. Since the Beatles broke up just a few years after Pepper, and Wilson slipped into drug-induced dimensia, it can be argued that the Llamas consistency in this terrain should now put them on an equal status with those who inspired them rather than at their feet. This is some of the most well-crafted, creative pop music ever produced. Each song is as fine-tuned as a Swiss watch. Can Cladders follows along the lines of Beat, Maize and Corn. Breezy and pastoral, with an emphasis on airy harmonies and string arrangments, as well as the sounds of acoustic guitars, harps, keyboards and light percussion. On Can Cladders, the High Llamas again eschew the electronic burbles and warrbles of Cold and Bouncy and head straight to the forests and fields with chamber orchestra in tow. As usual, the lyrics are abstract in the extreme, tending to create an overall impression or mood rather than having any meaning in a literal sense; however, having said that, there does seem to be an emphasis on a nostalgic impression of the English countryside. I first listened to this CD while cruising around in my car with the windows down on a sun-drenched spring weekend. Trees were blossoming and flowers were blooming and Can Cladders was the perfect soundtrack." One of their best Leggo Ami | Richmond, VA USA | 04/05/2007 (5 out of 5 stars) "Can Cladders is just unbelievable. O'Hagan and company deliver a thing of beauty this time out, taking us in a few unlikely places. Namely, female vocalists perfectly compliment O'Hagan's voice, the strings and harp here, even busting out into r&b territory on the fantastic "Winter's Day." They approach Brasil '66 on "The Old Spring Town." A thoroughly delightful release, one that I can't stop listening to." More of the same but that's o.k. Brian J. Greene | Durham, NC | 03/29/2007 (4 out of 5 stars) "There is not much here that a High Llamas fan will find to be different from the rest of the band's material. It's more of the 'Llamas inventive blend of breezy pop/open field folk/light electronica. The lyrics are delightfully nonsensical, the harmonies soar gently, the melodies stay in your head . . . Yet, despits its similarity to other Llamas records, this one stands out from the last few, maybe just because the songs are a little better this time. This gets better with each listen. It is not Hawaii, but it is as good as or better than any High Llamas album besides that one."
