Perhaps it's no coincidence my favourite releases of 2013 so far have very similar titles, the other being Daughter's If You Leave.
London Grammar's debut album is all about restraint. Laid back, haunting and beautiful, the tracks seamlessly flow into one another with very little instrumentation and an emphasis on repetition and silence.
'Wasting My Young Years' and 'Metal & Dust' are standout tracks, with pulsing beats and haunting choruses that showcase Hannah Reid's distinctive vocals. Just don't expect the record to be building to a crescendo of heavier or more pop-focused electronica.
Audiences who are in a melancholy or introspective mood will no doubt connect deeply with the record, and everyone else can simply appreciate the beauty.
