-
A richly executed and textural record—one of the best guitar-based albums of 2007 thus far.
-
At their best—pretty much all of Black Pompadour qualifies—The Zincs sound like an accomplished friend, sharing skill and knowledge without being pretentious about it.
-
This is a band that has a sterile aesthetic but is somehow able to create plenty of emotion and energy.
-
A classy affair all the way, Black Pompadour is sure to impress those who let it work its magic.
-
This is a sleepier record than 2005's Dimmer, but it rewards the careful listener with enough waking dreams to fuel a hundred overcast Sunday mornings.
-
As always, the playing is impeccable, although the cool professionalism evident on each song makes many of the album's tracks indistinguishable.
