"Sounding familiar in their pop (XTC) and prog (mid-era Genesis?, Kate Bush?) influences--and yet completely their own. You will be hard pressed to find new music so fully formed while remaining as unique as this."

Full immersion

"In this day and age of mp3's, the focus of most new albums is on their individual tracks for separate consumption, rather than as a full set like in the days of records and the early cds. I am thrilled to say that this is not the case with The Week That Was. From start to finish, it is an experience that completely satisfies my senses. Each track by itself is brilliant, but the full package is nothing short of magnificent. In style the music seems more original than anything I've heard in a long time, but simultaneously reminds me of the feeling I got from Peter Gabriel or Kate Bush. There is a hard beat, a dark bent in the sound, that makes it that much more compelling. I would recommend this to almost anyone I know."
