It would appear as though Wolf People wasted no time in releasing a follow-up to this year's Tidings album. Member Jack Strong has noted that the majority of the songs and sounds found on Tidings were collected between 2005-2007 and were actually recorded by Strong himself before Wolf People was formed. Gone are the interludes on this album and we finally receive a worthy full-length album from this band. According to Wolf People's label Jagjaguwar Records, the album was recorded in a converted barn on the grounds of a 17th century Welsh mansion; a huge leap from their early bedroom recordings. This album is loaded with melody, feedback, distortion and psychedelia ("Tiny Circle" even brings back the flute heard on Tidings), which is what has come to be expected from these natives of Bedford, England. It is nice to hear the full extent of what this band can do as this album has a much better flow to it especially now that they have some touring experience under their belts. It seems they have found their niche and I do hope they continue to pump out this well-crafted music.
