A User's Guide in Bloomington, MN

After a few years of silence,
Ultramarine
returned with a sound more akin to the understated ambient-techno of
Every Man and Woman Is a Star
rather than the electro-folk of 1995's
Bel Air
. It's an intriguing sound, just as wildly varied as you'd expect from these musical eclectics, but
A User's Guide
holds together much better than previous LPs like
and
United Kingdoms
