  • The Knot [Merge, 2009] Dud
  • Civilian [Merge, 2011] **

Consumer Guide Reviews:

If Children [Merge, 2008]
Poised warily between innocence and experience, d/b/a melody and chaos ("Keeping Company," "I Don't Feel Young"). **

The Knot [Merge, 2009] Dud

Civilian [Merge, 2011]
Rising into exultation, fading into doubt ("Holy Holy," "Civilian") **
