I've heard parts of it twice so far, but haven't picked it up yet. 
For some reason, his higher register singing on this one reminds me 
of David Byrne, of all people.  I'm not kidding--each time I heard 
the first track, I did a double-take.  As a Warren Ellis fan, I'm 
sure the strings on it are good, but the difference in the vocals 
distracted me, I'll admit.

FWIW, the strings on _The Good Son_, my favorite NC/BS album, rule.
