Farina combine fragile melancholic pop songs with a partiality to old synthesizers and Ennio Morricone-style trumpet. They call the result "zero-budget pop symphonies". Good description, but if it doesn't help you, just think of Mercury Rev. And no, they are not cleverly mixing the two hip things of the moment, "Quiet is the New Loud" and vintage synthesizers, because they started working on the album already in the summer of 1995. The only minor problem of this otherwise very good album are the vocals. Both Mark Brend, who sings on ten tracks, and Matt Gale (The trio's third member is Cliff Garfield.), who does so on two, sound thin and shaky. Often this shakiness adds an extra edge of melancholy, as in the brilliant 'Liberty' and 'Regret in Advance', but some of the more pop-style songs would have benefited from a better singer. Still, this is the excellent soundtrack for Springs like this, ones that just won't seem to start.
