Wow...I finally found a Kayo Dot album that really connects with me. 
This sounds like David Sylvian and The Cure joining forces as a modern post punk band with some beautiful post rock touches. 
I need a copy of this now, damn and I thought I was done with the 2014 releases for nowLOL

It's love at first sight, rather unusual for me when it comes to Kayo Dot.
Ok, i'm a bat, that figures.

Really?? I respect the opinion (it's definitely an oddball album) but I have to totally disagree with you. I even think the second song is a highlight.

Ditto!

It's pretty cool if you dig '80s post punk/darkwave kind of stuff, which has been growing on me recently.

This comes quite near to what I would say about Hubardo.

Sounds like this isn't for you.  No worries, really.

I was going to wait to listen to it til the CD came, but I gave in.  I've been listening to it while I walk around, and it is phenomenal.  I can't wait to let it sink in.
