Second album from Canadian indie rockers Close Talker. This album is super pretty, not much variety track to track but definitely worth listening to. Reminds me vaguely of Pinback, The Shins, and "Insert other mellow indie band name here."

Recommended: 1, 5, 8, 9

1. (4:59) Heads - Super catchy chorus, cool drum beat.
2. (4:20) Burnstick - Lots of synth, cool polyrhythm on the drums.
3. (4:13) Blurring Days - More guitar driven.
4. (3:29) For The Sun - A little faster tempo, cool harmonies
5. (4:00) Great Unknown - Cool horn breakdown
6. (5:10) The Silence I - No drums, ambient, sleep inducing.
7. (3:15) The Silence II - Mid tempo, distant vocals, cool guitar melody.
8. (3:03) Patmos - Slightly faster paced, local natives-esque, rhythm driven track
9. (4:17) Take It Back - Xylophone...but more of the same.
10. (3:55) Slow Weather - Starts mellow with little instrumentation then guitar melody builds in.
