Let's face it. Nobody does music like The Dawn Chorus do music. They have forged a sound unlike any other band in Britain and it's a damn fine sound without any doubt.
To recap, this band is the creator and owner of an endearing indie-folk sound that has matured with them over the past few years - and The Carnival Leaves Town is a continuation of the band at their peak.
I could talk about genius song-writing, as offered up by such instant favourites as 'Pacifists', 'Relatively Young And Quite In Love' or even 'Schuman' or about the depth in their musical style, demonstrated in 'The Guilt', 'Carnivalesque' and 'Green Unpleasant Land' - but at the end of the day, there are twelve awesome songs on this record that all contribute towards the Sgt. Pepper proportions of this record.
I just can't get enough of this brave little folk band.
We rated this record 5 out of 5.
