lol wikipedia for describing this song as "ethereal wave. "

Ok so... it is long. And the video is nothing special at all.

But I don't want to attack this just yet.

I think, for the length of this track, and what was ultimately featured in the video, i'll deem it: fitting and decent enough.

Let's face it there is no way a song like this would be released commercially... or at least be successful commercially. So i'm sure there is another single that will feature a bigger budget etc.

On a side note: I had very little expectations for this band's follow-up material. But I must say that i'm intrigued.

         

Amazing track - great video (well, great branding). Would love to watch this in a theater.

         

Their best track and video yet. I'm stunned.

         

i give this video props for holding my attention the whole way through.

looks good.

         

the tracks amazing, if a little long and extremely under the shadow of portishead's third thanks to ole Geoffy.

the video is lovely and is what the band wanted the video to be.

they are definitely in thrall to their influences these chaps (hence the hiring of hart) but hey, this works overall.

         

i thought chris cunningham was producing this album....?

         

Ditto shatner.

This track could have been a companion to The Rip on a 7" single or something...
