They loom large in his legend (The Album Collection playlists): Part 1; Part 2; Part 3; Part 4; Part 5
Active compensatory factors: This is a great album for either spring or autumn I've found. This was the group's second album. It largely deals with the break-up between lead singer Charlie Fink and former member Laura Marling, which is why she's not on this album.

Charlie is the main man in this group of four guys and his vocals are always interesting - doing justice to the tender and introspective lyrics. Musically it moves between lush soundscapes and folksy melancholy. It rewards repeat listens, and I'll come back to it (in spring).
Where do they all belong? The deluxe edition comes with a film (also called The First Days of Spring), which I don't have but would be keen to find.
