I had these guys on my radar for a while, but this is the first time hearing a complete album by them and it turns out, they are completely to my taste.

How are the bonus tracks of Spirit Phone handled? Usually I wouldn't ask, because bonus tracks are not part of the album proper so I don't take them under consideration for my votes, but according to both RYM and Discogs the bonus tracks are part of every version of Spirit Phone, which is unusual. ...

Thanks BleuPanda. For me those first four really stood out, so the result is pleasing.

I just can't imagine the critics putting our 9th & 10th ranked albums into their year end lists.
