Don't get me wrong, I have alot of respect for Unwed Sailor. Maybe I expected to much. Its just that this alblum lacks some much needed dynamics. The idea behind the record is solid, and at times you may feel involved in the story. I would have to say that Dave Basan was much needed, but did not play on the CD. I recommend any of there earlier stuff or 'Explosions in the Sky'.

This album is a bit of a break from their previous work: instead of the lush, standard-length songs, this album is comprised primarily of short, stark little vignettes. Interesting, but I wouldn't recommend it.

I first heard of Unwed Sailor by listening to Pedro the Lion and hearing of David Bazan's side project. After hearing some samples via iPod services, I realized how much I enjoyed the soft instrumental and the lush landscapes that the CD created. This proved to be the soundtrack to my summer. The highlights of the CD are The Windmill's Tale of the Music Box Floats Through the Air, Riding the Windmill and the closer, Jubilee. All in all, a very well put together CD.
