No.16 in the Best Of 2005 Top 20
 
Despite my somewhat shallow misgivings about bands naming themselves after something found in a stationery cupboard, Envelopes provided the year’s summer soundtrack for me and many other satisfied customers. This eclectic wedge of Scandinavian pop trawls the indie seas, netting influences from Pixies, Pavement and Belle and Sebastian and presenting its catches in a way that merits a mention in such revered company. Demon is a ray of sunshine from a place that often sees little of the stuff (I'm talking about York, where they've been recording their new album). Listen and smile.
