Another debut album on Resonant this time around they did not make the stop half way the Atlantic. Instead they continued west to that big land known as America. Small Sails is apparently a trio and with Similar Anniversaries they clearly show that they move comfortably in the pop-genre. You get some not dangerous yet nice beats and sounds in Aftershocks and Afterthoughts. Backside of a Magnet displays similar characteristics, a friendly atmosphere and child-likeness far removed from the horrors of the World. It’s pleasant and Similar Anniversaries displays more than competent pop-music. The album is out now on Resonant (AUG 2007).
