Tracklisting:
1. Softness Of Senses, 2. Smiles And Bridges, 3. Your Are In
The Stars, 4. Drawing Pictures Of Girls, 5. Through Crimson
Clouds, 6. Quiet Night, 7. So No Goodbyes, 8. The Eyes
Sparkled And She Walked Away

In a year that has seen electronic music slowly creeping its
way back into the mainstream via the folktronic tinkering of
Four Tet and the euphoric anthems of Ulrich Schnauss, Xela
is set to be the next operator to caress the mood of the
people with his delicate blend of homespun acoustic
composition and a careful arrangement of electronic beats.

23 years old and already responsible for one of the finest
records of last year (\"For Frosty Mornings...\" on the Neo
Ouija label), John Twells returns to his instrument-based
roots for an album that oozes warmth and fragility. These
are, first and foremost, love songs in the most modern sense
of the word, the futuristic means of execution never
compromising the purified strum of the guitar that lies at
the heart of each piece, even the voice (that rarest of
instruments in this scene) making an appearance to stoke the
fire.

Away from the TV adverts, short films, and documentary
soundtracks that are the unquestioned domain of new music
these days, \"Tangled Wool\" is an album that transcends fad
or fashion. An enduring collection of songs for late nights
and reflective moments that has been constructed with the
kind of feel for mood and composition that has rarely been
displayed with such maverick skill. It\'s there to be
discovered, slowly unraveled, just remember to handle with
care.

its shit - a very large disappointment considering the
pedigree of the first xela (for frosty mornings ....) and
the yasume full length ..

if I want to listen to very mediocre post rock I play my
guitar to myself ..lol

Yep. The new album is nothing compared to Frosty Mornings.
Very disappointing indeed.

It's very different. Not the same quality either. As Neh
says: "mediocre post-rock"
