Details:
Haberdashery's 'Admirer' tells the story of a love unreturned, through the eyes of a secret admirer on the verge of desperation. The album opens with the excitement of newfound passion, and journeys through the stages of a one-sided romance. In the end, the sadness of the doomed encounter is made bittersweet with a confession of lingering hope.

The sound of the album is often reminiscent of 80s synthpop; tracks like 'i'm lost' and 'last dance' call to mind bands like Erasure, Pet Shop Boys, and the Cure, while 'lie to me' is a distant cousin to the music of Ben Folds or Rhett Miller. Like The Postal Service, Haberdashery is carving out its own unique niche in the world of electronic music.
