This is a band just having fun and trying anything just because it might work. Usually it does and if it doesn’t, they leave it in anyway.
It's refreshing to hear an album that tries to be both experimental and catchy, and for all its faults, A Fairway Full of Miners has moments of frenzied pop bliss that are hard to top.
Pure melodic thrills for a while, but those with low twee tolerance should steer clear.
Sometimes too much is super exciting, and sometimes too much is just a little too much.
