    Every track on Dongs of Sevotion is chock-full of some of the most poignant, disconcerting lyrics you should ever have to hear.

    An album of stark beauty and utter honesty.
  3. New Musical Express (NME)

    As his musical repertoire has expanded from minimalist folk to occasionally playful pop, so has his tolerance for the foibles of the flesh. 'Dongs Of Sevotion', from its silly title to its intermittent flashes of tenderness and humour, is the proof.

    Bill Callahan is a very gifted musician and songwriter- each album is so different from the rest- he is constantly experimenting- any album by Smog is great but my personal favorites are "Kicking a Couple Around" and "Knock, Knock" "Red Apple Falls and Wild Love" are excellent also.… Expand

    "Dongs of Sevotion" succeeds, despite its annoying title. Most fans of smog or (smog), will enjoy this release, as it combines some of the finer elements of "Knock Knock" and "Red Apple Falls". Lyrically, Bill Callahan is at his best with sardonic gems like "Dress Sexy At My Funeral" and "Permanent Smile". In short, fans of melody, cunning lyrics, or (smog) in general will find this album an enjoyable addition to their library.… Expand
