Sounding as if they would feel at home as the hip lounge act at any modern-day, underground gin joint, the members of Massachusetts’ own White Hinterland come together to form a unique batch of jazz-stained tunes that are as breathtaking in their length as they are in their beauty. While their mellow, piano-driven brand of songwriting may not be severely dynamic, its subdued nature showcases an immense attention to detail, especially with the lovely addition of delicate string arrangements dotted throughout the entirety of the album.
