Woodpigeon - Die Stadt Muzikanten

Die Stadt Muzikanten saw Woodpigeon return with another album that should appeal to anyone left dismayed by Sufjan Steven’s abandonment of his fifty-states project. The Canadian collective’s elegantly simple approach manages to tug at the heartstrings without leaving an overly-saccharine aftertaste. Unfortunately, the quality on show suffers due to the album’s overall length (some sixteen tracks); a little more restraint would surely have seen Die Stadt… place higher.
