this is one record for which the adjectives "textured" and "intricate" seem inadequate.beneath its sullen, robotic exterior and cascading electronic flourishes, this record succeeds mightily in expressing fundamentally human emotions and states of mind: unlimited possibility, regret, nostalgia, inspiration, uncertainty (hence the title, one might assume) and most of all hope.two records into their career, the timeout drawer continues to create the thinking person's soundtrack to the mundanities and small miracles of everyday life. listen and understand.
