Claude says:This self-titled album — their fourth — came out digitally in late 2008 and won Album of the Year from webzine Somewhere Cold a month later, AllMusic praising how the band's romantic melodies get delivered through loud guitars and sprawling synth textures that evoke "vast fiery spaces." You grabbed it a few months after release in early 2009 and ran it hard that February, leaning heaviest on "Zodiac" and "First Day Of Sun" before letting it drift into occasional check-ins across the next five years.
