Tangled Star "Our Man In Eden Hill" – AMG

Excerpt: “The rich, gentle roil of sound evidenced on Our Man in Eden Hill, the band’s third overall release, has the same surging, warmly anthemic sound of stellar forebears galore, each sonically different — the Triffids, Died Pretty, perhaps most inevitably the Go-Betweens — but which altogether seem to capture a sense and a style more than might be guessed, something detailed, mournful, and a little crushing even at its strongest; feedback and background flows of classic keyboards and steady drumming all interplaying behind lead singer Craig Hallsworth’s work. By putting it all together and adding their own touches — the suddenly thrilling funk/psych guitar shades on ‘The Skaters,’ for instance — Tangled Star help make a claim on something more than re-creation.”
