I have had this album many years and also bought it as a gift for a couple of friends. I originally came across them live at a Summer Sundae Festival appearance at de Montfort Hall, Leicester, where I was knocked out by their lovely vocal harmonies and intricate subtle acoustic guitar playing. I got their debut and 2nd album which are also excellent, but this 3rd album is the one I come back and listen to most regularly.
Probably partly due to their Norweigan background, the English lyrics are sometimes a bit naïve and simplistic, slightly odd at times, which is part of their charm. If you like Simon & Garfunkel or early Belle & Sebastian then this duo will hit the spot for you. Gentle acoustic songs with interesting low key arrangements, not all slow songs, sometimes more uptempo with an almost jazzy swing. Most tracks feature their 2 guitars, sometimes there is also acoustic bass, or a splash of viola or piano, , adding splashes of memorable embelishment .
The songs are easy listening, accessible, including several good toe tappers, a bit more upbeat, mixed with some slower more maudlin ballads. This is a definite grower, the more you listen to it, the more ear hooks engage. Over the years this has become one of my all time favourite albums, a Desert Island top 10 album choice.
This duo are probably under the radar for most, not very well know, but they are truly special. It is a pity that they only recorded 3 charming albums together, and then went their separate ways. I would highly recommend them , well worth getting to know. Give them a few listens, and like me you will be likely to become drawn in and hooked, and come to love their unique blend of acoustic alchemy that I find magical.

great album, content-wise, although it was a little disappointing that the record had a bit of warp to it - it still plays pretty well, but sometimes it jumps at the start of the first track on each side - not bad enough to bother sending it back - but kind of a pain in the ass.
