Murder of a Girl
This is a strong second showing for the group. Their first album covered some weighty emotions, and the music reflected the thought behind the lyrics. Their sophomore effort definitely shows their influences. Depeche Mode rings through on many of the tracks of Murder of a Girl, but with a difference. The album shows flexibility and diversity throughout, but unlike Depeche Mode, the songs stay consistently listenable through to the end.

The Universe is Too Small
Fun and different. The Universe is Too Small touts a unique sound while maintaining a consistent feel through the whole album. Clearly this group is still finding their niche and growing artistically. It will be exciting to see what they produce in the future.
