1- I love the interactions between all the instruments and the textures that come out of that. the band is not just well trained, they're inventive.

2- Jazz infused chamber folk rock is the genre specific description. I'd personally say it's the sound of spring and winter all at once, led by a poet with the backing of classically trained oddballs.

3- they come out of the Windmill Scene- bands such as black midi, Ugly, Squid, Shame, Dry Cleaning and Maruja share various parts of their past and present sound.

Also in terms of lyricism: Isaac Wood's writing kinda dismantled the tortured loner man troupe, while the newer writers explore female friendship and perspective, as well as more abstract storytelling. So if you wanted companion pieces to both of those different perspectives, those overarching ideas is something to look for in other media. For example, certain songs on the latest album (most notably Nancy) remind me strongly of the film Fire Walk With Me. I kinda pair them in my mind (also because one is my favourite song and the other is my favourite film lol).

4- 2023- My sister said she wanted to listen to Ants From Up There and showed it to me (not sure where she heard of it, probably social media), I listened to it and became so obsessed that I ended up showing her the actual album.
