这是At Swim Two Birds的第三张专辑。前两张专辑为《Quigley's point》（2003年）和《Returning to the Scene of the Crime》（2007年）。网上的介绍说，At Swim Two Birds是英国乐队The Montgolfier Brothers成员Roger Quigley的solo project，取自爱尔兰作家Brian O'Nolan(笔名Flann O'Brien)的同名小说。
09年的这张《Before You Left》，延续了At Swim Two Birds 一贯的风格：忧郁的吉他和低沉的吟唱，所有的情绪，透过平静内敛的声音蔓延开来。整张专辑从演唱到乐器的使用都极简单，以至于让我产生了这样的错觉：这个唱歌的人是不是实在不想再唱了，而安安静静的面对你，一句话不说更让他喜欢？
专辑的桔黄色封面看过去很温暖，当然，内心深处的悲伤多数是秘不示人的。只要看看专辑中曲名，以及那低沉的大提琴，和呼呼的风声，就知道了。

'Before You Left' underlines Roger Quigley's credentials as an expert purveyor of slowly unravelling melancholic pop. Over more than a decade, both on his own and as leader of Manchester's Montgolfier Brothers, Quigley has developed a distinctive style of composition and delivery. The voice, increasingly rich and sonorous, presides over a backdrop of delicate, repetitive guitar arpeggios and sweeping cello. The mood - soporific, hypnotic - recalls Spiritualized's woozy refrains as well as the likes of Bill Callahan and Leonard Cohen, with whom Quigley has been compared in the past.
Regular live collaborators Sophia Lockwood and Otto Smart bolster the music, and there's an appearance by Doves keyboardist Martin Rebelski, who wrote and arranged Let Her Go with Quigley. With a knowing nod to A Man Alone, Sinatra's bleak exposition of love and loss, Before You Left unblinkingly explores the collapse of a relationship with the help of recurring melodic motifs.
In a recent blog, former Creation and Poptones boss Alan McGee declared: "With their baroque music, regretful lyrics and northern soulfulness, the Montgolfier Brothers should have been huge". With the release of 'Before You Left' there's still time to catch up with At Swim Two Birds.
