First proper full-length from one of Glasgow's finest musical exports. Breezy, sleepy, 60's-referencing indie pop that's very much in the vein of early Belle and Sebastian, whose Stuart Murdoch helped out with string arrangements. All of this band's records are really great -- there's apparently a new album in the works, too -- but Biggest Bluest Hi-Fi and I go way back.
Track listing:
1. Happy New Year
2. Eighties Fan
3. Houseboat
4. Shine Like a New Pin
5. Pen and Notebook
6. Swimming Pool
7. Anti-Western
8. Let's Go Bowling
9. I Don't Do Crowds
10. The Sun on His Back
11. Double Feature
12. Arrangements of Shapes and Space

Love this album! They picked up the indie/twee baton from Belle & Sebastian when they decided to break out of their signature sound.
