Melancholy is the main ingredient. The mandolin chords percussion rhythms and brass melodies are subordinate to it again and again. And if there is time, researchers or even almost fiery, somehow plaintive song tells us right back where it really goes long. Zach Condon, who has the lion's share of all music hand / recorded -mündig, has been able to deliver a real tobacco. One can indulge in these moods and revel in them without being actually covered by them. Why? Because always imposes the impression that the whole Condon says not really serious. Ironic distance is called for - not to be confused with emotional detachment. Feeling well enough in the game. With Balkan music, the plate has to do only at first glance or Horch. This is indie pop at its best, brings his inspiration from various sources, of which the Balkan sound stands out most clearly. That's about it. More need not be first. Others want indeed have something to do. PS: Still 5 points? I can not help it, I feel this record as a completely rounded, the really nothing missing.
