Remove Aluminium Oxide
Seasons (also distributed in our country last year, paving the way for the album that we are reviewing today: you will find it in stores) had struck criticism for its pleasant otherness between indie rock "Canadian" (Arcade Fire, for instance) and unusual touches sinfonici, bandistici e jazz.
