This Australian band already broke up once after their first album was released in 2008. Soon they started to play together again and some songs from the debut were released as an EP called The Recordings Of Middle East last year.
All six songs are carefully crafted folk songs. It took several listenings for the EP to leave a mark on me, but persistent listening payed off. The songs are rich in melody, structure and dynamics. "Blood" is the definitive highlight growing almost in a post-rockish manner from the softest and most intimate folk song to an Arcade Fire -like orchestrated celebration.
