Totally enjoying it.
It sounds like there is an influence from Air's Moon Safari album in places.
There is the usual juxtaposition of 'jolly' tunes with tough subject matter.
The mix I find a bit interesting only in as much as where the instuments are placed in the stereo field. I'm assuming that's a quirk of the producer.
Love the hammond-esque organ sounds.
Only real criticism is the over use of synth strings. I think real strings would have given a couple of tracks a bit more weight.
As for leaks... Well, the press and radio already had copies and it appeared on piratebay the night of the launch party. Not devastating really - given almost no artist's new album in recent years has escaped similar.
Definitely a diverse album and enjoyable.

Yeah, I honestly can’t think of an artist at this point who hasn’t had an album leak. Even Metallica’s last album leaked a week before it came out and we all know what Lars thinks of file sharing
