Back In Stock

repackaged in mint-packs. after crafting a debut album full of beauteous, somber chamber-folk, nick drake pulled something of an about-face with the follow-up, 'bryter layter'. with a bright, sparkling production and orchestrations that occasionally border on easy listening, the framework is light and airy where 'five leaves left' was dark and foreboding. the key, however, is that drake's artfully expressed inner turmoil peeks through at every turn in the lyrics and in his understated-but-heartfelt vocal delivery.
