Q MagazineOct 11, 2013You plug it in your ears in June and three months later you've barely listened to anything else. Highly recommended. [Nov 2013, p.104]
-
Nov 6, 2014Gentle outlaw Cass McCombs luxuriates in sunlit California landscapes, weaving offbeat tales of carousing and yearning on Big Wheel and Others.
-
Oct 21, 2013He’s into strange turns and oblique repetition, but as with some of his past records, he will come at you every once in a while with a single track that will pin you down with its beauty. Like a John Lennon love song. There’s a few of those here: “Angel Blood,” “Dealing” and “Untitled Spain Song.”
-
Oct 30, 2013Big Wheel just keeps rolling along, a moody, ambitious collection touching on travel, impermanence, the soul, manhood, statehood, and then some.
-
Oct 14, 2013It will take a truly patient listener to not just sit through the album, but to parse McCombs’ language and internalize the spare arrangements.
-
Oct 22, 2013It’s some of the parts, the ones that seek to rise above that whole though parlour tricks or overwrought strangeness, that feel too long, even as the running time of the record as a whole, seems to glide by.
-
Oct 10, 2013This latest effort is not without its merits but is fundamentally too long, whilst its interludes are a cheap, unnecessary annoyance.
