When founder member Daniel Wylie quit to pursue solo interests, fans of this melodically charged Glasgow quartet probably thought their time was up. Critical acclaim and a flirtation with the Top 40 didn't make them household names, yet they've persevered. Guitarist Stephen Fleming assumes vocal duties on 14 tracks that maintain the band's allegiance to an Eagles/Byrds template, while the close harmony work and hook-driven tunes like "Because You" and "The Need To Fly" will keep core Cosmologists happy.
