The band's biggest asset has always been Crossingham's voice and his perma-falsetto soars throughout the disc, while it can't hold the presence it is able to in a live setting, it's nevertheless an impressive base for the sparse and stirring instrumentation.
The powerful vocal interplay between Crossingham and bassist Scott Remila, a key element of their live show, is prominent, and newest member Dylan Green offers a strong backbone that was missing from much of their debut.
The EP closes out with a stripped down, six minute version of "Country Home" with John accompanied solely by a banjo and though the melody is intriguing enough (the full band version I've heard live is outstanding), it's hard to not be bored to tears even half way through.
