...Their second album, On Second Thought, I Might Wanna Change Some Things, signals an intention to build on this base by being considerably more accessible than the band's melancholy 2006 debut album, The Very First Thing You Must Learn About Flying Is Gravity.

Life could disappear for five years, and I'd probably enjoy...
