Holy friggin crap. Just go out and buy this album, okay? Just do it. Don't wait. It's worth so much more than the $10 you'll pay for it. The Perishers won their place in my favorites list with their melancholy, piano-driven songs from the first album of theirs that I was familiar with, Let There Be Morning. They've become one of my favorite bands, bar none. This album stays true to their sound but gives a bit of a new twist - more guitar, far less melancholy, but still undeniably them. It works. It works really well. Where the last album was the type of thing you'd put on when you were feeling a bit tired, a bit worn out, maybe even a bit hopeless, this album is one you'll put on when you've got a bright optimism for the future (is that a sunrise on the album cover?); it's the sort of thing you'd listen to on an early morning as you walk out the door and into a relaxing Saturday where the entire day is yours. No responsibilities. No worries. Just music and a really good feeling. It's incredible and I can't stop listening to it.
