8.0/10

A warm and cosy baroque folk album. The cover is a part of the 1559 painting Netherlandish Proverbs by Pieter Bruegel, a renaissance artist with a rich and intriguingly detailed work (just click his name to view other pieces).

As Robin Pecknold (vocalist and guitarist of the band) points out, this specific piece is overlaid by a bucolic aesthetic, much like the album's overall atmosphere. But at the same time this painting illustrates numerous small narratives in a dense and unified set, once again in perfect analogy with the band's debut.

Well, I didn't say much about this one but I don't really need to, do I? Just go get it and listen to it. Here's my song choice for a bit of the album's taste:
