Dan Snaith didn’t appear to overthink the success of his 2010 album Swim. He didn’t fret, at least not publicly, about trying to imitate its success, nor did he dive back into the comfort of the esoteric. Instead, he figured the reception of that album meant that people liked what he was doing. For its follow-up, the former mathematician moved even further away from the cerebral, opening his heart and giving us a batch of body-moving love songs.

The lyrics don’t look like much, but they operate as mantras. “Can’t Do Without You” is a tenderizing phrase; by the time the song’s done, Snaith’s pledge that “you’re the only one thing I think about” comes across as heartbreakingly sincere. The effect is similar on “Our Love” as bass fills in the silence, suggesting the beating of multiple hearts. It isn’t always so easy, as the minor-key melody and lyrics of “Back Home” suggest. But if it were easy, it’d remain unspoken, and Our Love is an album about how worthwhile it is to say what you feel.
