    South's wonderful debut seduces and lulls you into its world. The music sounds like the result of a bio-scientist's attempt to genetically engineer a cross between Steve Reich and The Incredible String Band. Gorgeous interlocking motives are lovingly performed on guitar, vibraphone, hammered dulcimer (and whatever else was lying around) to create an intriguing and beautiful "Reich and Roll." The spare "cream of consciousness" lyrics are sung by Patrick Phelan's barely-above-a-whisper voice. The interplay between the vocals and instruments just might remind you of Gentle Giant's prettier moments.
    Songs unfold slowly, accents shift and keys and time signatures change gracefully. Amazingly enough, it sounds unpretentious, natural and relaxed. This is Minimalist-influenced pop: everything you always wanted in a band, and less.
