Suburban Light is a brilliant introduction to the band, and over repeated listens, the songs grow both more distinctive and more interconnected, boasting a richly nuanced intricacy as intoxicating as it is elusive.

Every song here is a musical drift. Every song here discusses rain, or morning, or some other lazy, reflective moment in life. Every song here often sounds the same. But it's a pleasant song.

This one of the most unoriginal borning albums I have ever heard. I understand wanting to build off of the sound of the 60s but when your record brings nothing new to the table at all, I will just listen to The Beatles or Small Faces

Just realised that I hadn't rated this. It's one that I've listened to the most. Suburban Light really hits my sweet spot for indie pop. Great melodies and guitar playing. You can never go wrong with these songs for a walk on a rainy day...
