From Boomkat:
Dark Captain make shimmering experimental folk, and give it the kind of epic scope we last witnessed in the days of post rock. That’s no bad thing either; with the grandiose wail of Godspeed and the heart and soul of Fairport Convention the band are on to something really special, and coming from the LOAF camp you know you’re in for a delicious treat. Somehow there’s a very defiant British streak to ‘Dead Legs & Alibis’, and deep beneath the gorgeous production and noisier elements there’s a record that even my dad could hold near and dear. I can’t for the life of me work out why more people aren’t listening to Dark Captain instead of plumping for arch-twats Mumford and Sons, but then the world isn’t very fair, is it now? Well good.
