    There's a swagger about Dents and Shells unseen since Since.

    The songs remain the same: clear-eyed musings on breakups-as-existential-crises. [Dec 2004, p.124]

    Dents and Shells is Buckner in top form, using a broad brush to manifest his enigmatic poetics, hallucinatory atmospheres, and melodies that appear and evaporate like breath exhaled onto cold glass.
