Excerpt: “I’ll admit it. If an artist happens to mention in their press release that David Bowie has singled them out as one of his favorite current acts, I’ll give it a listen. If memory serves, the erstwhile Thin White Duke once paid a similar compliment to Arcade Fire, and that seems to have worked out pretty well for those kids… Fans of Faun Fables, Joanna Newsom, Bjork and their ilk are likely going to find the dreampop offerings on the duo’s new record… I’ll just say that The Green is a fascinating and absorbing listen that should sneak onto more than a few year end Best Of lists, even without the assistance of Mr. Bowie. Check out lead single and ‘Leatherwing Bat’, which recalls Richard and Linda Thompson after a few psilocybin smoothies.”
