Living in a Giant Candle Winking at God

Living in a Giant Candle Winking at God is the debut album by the Transit Kings. It featured guest appearances from The Smiths guitarist Johnny Marr and comedian Simon Day.[1] The Sun described the album as "quality" and "out of this world" and compared it to a mixture of DJ Shadow and Röyksopp;[2] however, The Times called it "Orb-lite" and proclaimed it to be "Deep Forest-style sludge".[3]
