A good record then, but one that leans too heavily on the analysis of forlorn, lost and lonely love than the full-blooded outpouring one senses Yellen was reaching for.

As much a hard reset as a progression, where Iron & Wine now leads others will surely follow.

It’s a drug bender that doesn’t climax; background music that never stops you in your tracks.

Hopefully their future will embrace an evolution into bolder work that strays outside the now ubiquitous Brooklyn indie-pop norm.

There’s an old-fashioned romance at the core of this record, and it’s that much stronger for it.

As the train pulls into the station the passing scenery becomes a distant memory, and leaves little reason to dwell for very long.

Ultimately, March Fires is a dynamic album full of thoughtful lyrics. It can only be described as quintessential Birds Of Tokyo.

For !!! to stay this focussed and relevant years after the music world was supposed to have passed them by is a testament not only to their enduring vision, but also to their status as a great band; plain and simple.

A perfect combination of genres.
