The Kimbra album is pretty tight. It doesn't seem that exceptional, and yet I keep listening to it, and I've already noticed a lot of things I didn't notice the first time through. Definitely a propitious debut.

That string loop near the middle of "Two Way Street" reminds me a heck of a lot of something on Cinematic Orchestra's Motion, but that probably shouldn't come as a suprise since she worked with some sort of soundtrack composer on this album, if I read and remembered correctly.

Does anyone else hear this album as partly a manifestation of 90s revivalism?
