Reviews
Ranked #26 in Q's "The 50 Best Albums of 2007.", 4 stars out of 5 -- "Condon coos these heart-broken serenades and intoxicated ballads in a liquid vibrato moan somewhere between Thom Yorke and Antony Hegarty.", 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "An unironic homage to France, intending to evoke a different city on each song....It adds up to great fun...", "The album serves as a musical travelogue through various French cities and deals with the country's rich tradition of music, fashion and culture.....Stunning.", "Condon is freed up to write some of his best melodies yet -- like the wine-stained waltz 'Forks And Knives' -- and his newly mature, melodramatic croon is in fine form throughout.", 3 stars out of 5 -- "Condon's vocals are more pronounced when he's joined by a chorus of fellow believers, making this band of sonic gypsies seem communal rather than individual..."
