Editorial Reviews

2002 followup to 2000's 'Seventeen Stars' is a natural progression from the melancholic beauty of that album, it's chiming guitars & confessional lyrics bringing to mind a subtle mix of the Durutti Column & The Smiths. 10 tracks. Poptones. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

This review is from: World Is Flat (Audio CD)

A brilliant combination of slow James Bondish 1960s nostalgia and love songs creating an effect similar to The Clientele. If you love this latter band and other bands like Blueboy, Lovejoy, Trash Can Sinatras, and Arco, then Montgolfier Brothers are a must.

This review is from: World Is Flat (Audio CD)

achingly beautiful sophomore release from one of my favorite bands. if you are familiar with the first, 17 Stars, this is a step further in a direction that is virtually impossible to classify. Mark Tranmer(of GNAC) supplies the pieces of music while Roger Quigley(of Quigley) recites hopeful lullabies. Not to be deemed depressing in any way, in fact, these songs are splendid dialogues of wishful thinking. Whether contemplating the fate of a certain relationship(World is Flat) or rethinking the course of his life(Be Selfish), Roger Quigley's voice shimmers through music pulled from a world not-unlike that of The Durutti Column.
