Copeland - Eat Sleep Repeat

This new album is over-the-top in its melodic directness, yet retains its DIY Craftmanship. It's the sound of a band stretching itself, from the first moments of tinkling vibraphone, manipulated drums, and sighing strings that open the album ("Where's My Head") through soaring cautionary pop balladry ("Careful Now" and gnarled guitar lines that threaten to strangle airy choruses ("I'm a Sucker) for a kind word. In the end, it's an album that is as massive as it is immediate, as uncompromising as is accessible, a sound big enough to fill a stadium but nuanced enough to require headphones.
