Definitely Cross Paths. I found it by far more refreshing and chart-worthy... _________________ "And can’t you see you’re in on it?

I was always going to vote for Cross Paths if the truth be told, but I took the time to have a listen to Shadow Kingdom as I'd never heard it before. And listening to it was the sonic equivalent of shopping in a charity shop/thrift store - there's some great stuff, but mostly obscured by things that smell of mothballs.
The Motifs are delightful. I enjoyed their mellow harmonies, like the Indigo Girls only more relaxed.
Shadow Kingdom. I did listen to it all the way through this time, all four hours of it. The time for the album says 2:39:33, but that can't possibly be right. But I should probably say something nice... Um..... It was better than Stars of the Lid.
Not even close for me, and I really like Cross Paths. Shadow Kingdom is like a devastatingly, gorgeous femme-fatale to Cross Paths girl-next-door super cutie. Cross Paths does reach some Belle & Sebastian level of of twee pop awesomeness at times, but it cannot sustain that level throughout an entire album. I kind of feel that Natural Snow Buildings could pull off whatever they wanted and just don't give a fuck. Insanely hypnotic and one of the few bands that actually warrants comparison to GSYBE at times.
