Golf's verdict: A real eclectic mix of styles and influences adding up to a potential keeper. One part indie, two parts Americana and with a little bit of Mariachi band thrown in.
Maire's verdict: Can't make up my mind. Some great tracks and some irritating ones. Need to listen to the album again.

Golf's verdict: Reminded me of valley girl folk music, rather strangely. I am obviously not attuned to Mr Buckley Snr. Jeff (the son) seemingly inherited a few of these traits too, as aspects of 'Grace' demonstrate.
Maire's verdict: Irritating as fuck.
