It paces itself, never meticulously, but like a finely crafted Hitchcock shot. It teases and builds, exercising the imagination to a point where the song begins to write itself in your head. A slowly drawn violin melody toys with the listener throughout the track. It patiently goes from sweet and innocent to a much more sinister, shocking sound that creates a journey of emotions that can leave you feeling sorrow or joy at every one of its slight twists. Full review (Line of Best Fit) here. [...] [...] ‘I Dreamt…’ is a slow boiler of a song. It paces itself, never meticulously, but like a finely crafted Hitchcock shot.

And lord knows how I hate to sound like the prickly yank... but in the last few weeks TLOBF has had 0, 15, 94 & 88% scored albums... which doesn't seem like very measured critiques, since I'm quite sure these albums all fall somewhat nearer the middle numbers. And as long as I'm in my contrary mode: the myspace moment I gave above band *did* sound like post-rock by the numbers to me. Heh. OK. Glad I got that outta my system. Carry-on, my good friends!
