    The album from beginning to end piques interest at too much of an infrequent interim. The record is deliberately obtuse and puerile. Hey Venus was whimsical enough and naturally so. This is a very cynical, insulting record made by a band taken to mocking those who were silly enought to pick the thing up. Dark Days Light Years serves to mock those who afford it praise.

    It is a pleasure to report that the latest SFA opus is a joy from start to finish.

    So, business as usual then; SFA have made another enormously enjoyable record, but one that is unlikely to ‘do an Elbow’ and suddenly make them a serious mainstream proposition again.

    Dark Days/Light Years is their finest collection since 2003's "Phantom Power," a purple patch perhaps inspired by the band members' dalliances in various solo projects.
