diminutive voice and the
s childlike croon can be nearly interchangeable), the band's 20-year run has been as quiet as it has been remarkably solid, and their ninth studio album,
, does little to tarnish their gentle supremacy. The husband-and-wife-led trio's penchant for summery, fingerpicked, spiritually charged nostalgia is alive and well, especially on standout cuts like the Celtic-tinged opener

doesn't concern itself with the modern world; rather it presents an intimate appreciation of the verdant mundane. The soft, rolling
wants nothing more than to celebrate the "tunnels of tall trees" that line a country bike ride, while the lovely
approaches its subject through the simple, metaphor-free eyes of a child. Longtime fans, especially those who enjoyed 2007's
, will find
