Farewell to Juliet are truly artists, and Grace and Dire Circumstances proves it. Throughout this disc's 13 tracks, the band weaves together a variety of influences from euro-pop, modern rock and acoustic pop to create a distinct sound. The lyrics are first-rate, honest, and give the listener plenty to digest.
This great combination of original music and very poetic words results in some wonderful songs. Favorites are "Browning's Pearl" (a beautiful love song), "Seven Three One" and "Holiday on Ice." Also included is a great cover of the Choir's "Chase the Kangaroo," recorded as a tribute to FTJ's favorite band.
