Puts me in mind of Ben Ottewell from Gomez - one of my favourite voices. I love the first part of the track when everything's a bit more open and organic. I think the track loses some of its identity when the rock instruments kick in just before the minute mark, and becomes a bit predictable. I wonder if the song would have been even better if they'd kept some of the creativity and imagination with the arrangement, instead of playing safe with that standard four-to-the-floor soft rock approach. Still, that's only a quibble. Nice little song, and they sound like they'd be great live. Just had a wee listen to Urban Myth and guy does have a great voice.

I also caught them by accident in San Francisco a couple of summers ago, and tonight I'm seeing them in Portland for the 3rd year in a row. Vampire love song live is a treat!

Yeah, his voice was amazing live. I turned to my sweetie in the car afterwards and said to her, "he must be one of those people with perfect pitch" he was on key every time without seeming to have to make any effort. Quite remarkable. And to do it with so much emotion like that stripey guy ;) Oh Rol, don’t know how I lost track of yer comment! Yeah, his voice was amazing live.

A cello always adds so much. His voice sounds a bit Stipey to me (no bad thing). Like it. A cello always adds so much. His voice sounds a bit Stipey to me (no bad thing).
