I agree. The instrumentation on SYL as a whole is good. I know people like to throw around the word "quirky" a lot when describing Kill Uncle songs, but it certainly applies. And I mean that in a positive way.
I recently "rediscovered" Kill Uncle (Sing Your Life included). The first time I heard it I just couldn't get into it at all, but I'm slowly coming around. I quite like Sing Your Life, Asian Rut, Found Found Found, and (gulp) Tony the Pony.
