The record has been received extremely well by the press, most praising the thought-provoking nature of its lyrics, rooted in John's feelings of isolation and alienation. Although it is driven by a predominantly folky sound, each track has a poppy feel to it, which make it very listenable and easy to get through.
Don't be fooled by some of the lighthearted melodies, this is a record filled with the thoughts of a man who has recovered from painful addictions and struggled with the contemplation of suicide.
'I Wanna Go To Marz' is the obvious one to listen to first. Great track.
John is on tour with Midlake over the next few months.
