These U.K. lads sure have a knack for sadness, dragging barely electric chords by vocalist Eddy Brewerton's leash in the sour-grapes opener "Cherry" before ending with the bend-and-release of "I Hope You're Miserable."

I can't tell you how I excited I was for this album. I've loved Moose Blood since about the release of their first EP, Moving Home , back in February of last year.
