The Invisible: The Invisible

Continuing my Mercury Prize-a-thon, I've been listening to The Invisible by The Invisible. Not a band I'd come across, although I discovered I'd already bought this album from eMusic but never got round to listening to it. Flagrant consumerism? Oh yes!

Having forced myself to give it a fair airing, is this to be a purchase I regret? And could I sound more like Carrie Bradshaw?

Sweet Billy Pilgrim: Twice Born Men

Into the breach with my inaugural review – Twice Born Men by Sweet Billy Pilgrim. A few things I'd heard about this album
  • recorded in a shed
  • sounds a bit like Elbow
  • maudlin
None of them out-and-out bad, but none giving any real clue about the contents of the album.
