Advantages: Every track has own unique charm
Disadvantages: None that I can think of
Darren Hayman has created an excellent, varied collection of songs for this album. With the vocal and instrumental talents of Amelia Fletcher, James Williams, Owen Hayter and others, this album mixes contemporary themes with unlikely instruments such as flugels, trombones, saxes and flutes. This album tackles the anxieties of modern life within England's buzzing capital city in a humerous, enjoyable way. Some people may be tempted to compare Hefner to Radiohead, but to that I say there is no comparison. This album is hard-hitting, while mellow at the same time. The title track of the album is a particular favourite of mine, comparing the big city to the suburbs in order to analyse his attempts to win over a woman. Other excellent tracks are Good Fruit and She Can't Sleep No More, the former being a calm, mellow song with the latter being more upbeat but still great to listen to. 'We Love The City' is a great album, and I'd go so far to say that all of the tracks on it have their own unique charm. This album is a rare treat in that respect.
