My first album of '07 could be the best

"Most instrumental bands pull the listener in with the "silence to violence" scheme, but Six parts seven have created a happy medium here. Music for all..well, most moods. The lap steel guitar has more of a presence on this album than with their older stuff, and the trumpet is introduced on a track or two. Think American football and Stars of the lid with some folk and alt-country influences mixed in. Truly a moving album and 6P7's best yet. Standout tracks: "Conversation heart", "Falling over evening" and "Night behind the stars"."

"This is an album to just chill out to. Don't expect dramatic swells or intense instrumental interludes. "Casually Smashed to Pieces" is more for a Sunday afternoon backyard or porch party. Even though the tracks are solely instrumental and all relatively similar, you won't find yourself bored by listening to it at any point."
