A Northern Chorus

It's not being overly talked about yet, but A Northern Chorus' The Millions Too Many is easily one of the best releases of 2007. They've grown leaps and bounds from their '05 release Bitter Hands Resign. This record is focused and immediate, consistent and deep. It will bring tears and smiles and approving nods. It conveys the most human elements of Some By Sea (as well as similar acoustic/violin/cello interaction) and the swirling crescendos of Explosions in the Sky. I'm so glad I own this record.
