I knew I liked this band as soon as I heard ‘The Match’ but that grew to become love when I discovered that they’d also released a full Christmas album last December, called ‘First Christmas’. Now it takes a certain type of collective to engage in such festive related activities but when they turn out to be so epic in their approach it makes for something even more special. ‘The Match’ is taken from last year’s ‘Plague’ and oddly loses momentum towards the end. It appears to have been the plan by the Austinites and who are we to argue when they appear to be totally in control of a basket of winning ideas. ‘The Match’ is heartfelt, euphoric and a shot in arm for those looking for something more meaty to bite into ““ just witness those brass parts. Bliss. KD
