A grand, cathartic debut about grief and neighbourhood memory that helped define 2000s indie. The arrangements swell and crest with real emotion. One of the decade's most beloved records. Released in 2004, it set the tone for everything that followed.
On vinyl: 2000s vinyl is increasingly rare second-hand — a repress is usually the easiest route.
