The High Llamas
Can Cladders
Every review or article concerning the The High Llamas seems to mentioned Brian Wilson. It must be compulsory I guess, and although it is an easy parallel to draw, it is also a good one at that.
Anyway, they have a new album 'Can Cladders' that is not a radical departure from anything they have done before. So although they still sound a bit like YOU KNOW WHO, they do it better than anyone else and this is their best for a long time.
So if slightly mannered chamber-pop, with lush strings, vocal harmonizes galore, banjos, slightly anodyne lyrics is your thing; then this will possibly be your favourite album ever.
If not you'll hate it with a passion. So either * or ***** depending on where you stand.
