the loving care and delicacy of "this phrase appeals to you" can be destroyed with a single breath. acoustic whimsy flits like an imaginary firefly in the air, holding out as long as it can against the abrasive electric cannons that lurk beneath the treeline. this virtual UK all-star team of joincey, andy & mikarla jarvis, m. delaney, and andy robbins come forth in spectacular fashion. from the optimistic, yet frightened cello bursts of "white mice & stinkbombs//beaters & dogs" to the spectacular vocals, sung in japanese by m. jarvis, on "yume" - there is little doubt that "this phrase appeals to you" is awash in brilliant incandescence. sit down and let sculptress hold you in their stunning embrace.100 copies
