The Lucksmiths' 2005 album
Warmer Corners was like a collection of amazing singles, each song a glittering indie pop gem strong enough to stand on its own. "Hiccup in Your Happiness" is one of the best of them. A low-key, melancholy ballad adorned with shimmering strings and a boisterous horn section, the song features some of
Tali White's most assured and moving vocals to date and is a soothing balm for the brokenhearted. The other three songs on this EP were recorded after the sessions for the album but easily measure up to the high standard set previously. The rollicking and literate "Rue Something" is the winner among them, but "From Macauley Station" and "To Absent Votes" have a low-key charm that
Lucksmiths fans have come to count on.
