Where the Ocean Meets My Hand

Where the Ocean Meets My Hand is the band's third album, released in 2007. It was, to that date, the lenghiest album (both in running time and number of tracks) and the one with most songs about the band itself rather than poetry or stories.

Reception and Reviews
The album has received mostly positive reviews. In Amazon the only two existing reviews are five-star ones, with a costumer adding that this album specifically was "the most enjoyable" he has ever listened to. The other one says this album is "great", and that although "some people might listen to a couple of songs and write them off as sort of a shiny happy pop sound", there is "so much more". The songs can be "downright dark, always rich, and incredibly emotional. Pairing this emotion with the carnival'esque joy of their instruments and you have a very rich sound".

Professional reviews include a dry one from Dom Passantino, who gave the album an "A-" grade saying that the band is "a group that 95% of the population will despise", but concluding that they are "a step above your common-or-garden mimsiness", having "enough saccharine (...) to rot your teeth, but they won't give you heart failure". K. Ross Hoffman rated it 4 stars, saying that "there's an inviting warmth and rootsiness to the arrangements", and that "even on the uptempo numbers (only about half of the album), the accumulation of accordions, fiddles, and rich vocal harmonies on top of the impressively assured guitar work feels loose and comfortably open-ended, rather than frenzied or forced". He finishes by saying that the record is "rife with simple but effective top-notch pop melodies, even if they tend to bleed into one another somewhat", resulting in "pure, folksy sweetness".
