Xtra Happy
A greatly underrated modern prog rock album that harkens back to the classic staple sounds of its 70's forebearers, while mixing it with folky and pop sensibilities to make for some wonderfully warm and enchanting textures
Hooky ballads like 'Ode To The Summer' and 'Promise Me' mix with odd time-signatured jams like 'Night Shaped Light' and 'Edge Of The Earth', and the long, psychy 'Paradise Lost' continues a trend from Syd Arthur's previous EPs of having a grand epic closer
Highly recommended
Favorite track: Paradise Lost.
