Drowned in Sound The Optimist LP is a quite stunningly beautiful record.
NME Its one of those albums. Like Parachutes, for some, we suppose. But then listening to Coldplay instead of Turin Brakes is like the [I]Almost Famous[/I] generation choosing Don McLean over Tim Buckley. Ones comforting, familiar, pretty; the other strikes at your soul. And its a special kind of record which can encourage [I]and[/I] soundtrack such introspection, without losing its edge to indulgent miserabilism
Pitchfork Olly Knights vocals mix Jeff Buckley moan and Marc Bolan hiss. The songs are simple, emotional, and earnest., and theyre laden with Everly Brothers harmonies
