by Heather PharesThe group's most subdued and melodic album yet, Strangers is ironically the Fellers' least strange album. It's also their most diverse; the goofy"My Pal the Tortoise" shares space with the genuinely disturbing"The Operation," and the genuinely catchy weirdo-pop of"Socket" and"The Piston and the Shaft.""Noble Experiment,""February," and"Cup of Dreams" explore the group's rare sentimental side, and the result is the group's most complete and listenable album.
