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.
-
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.
-
At first listen, this album is downbeat minimalism à la Leonard Cohen, but it actually covers a lot of ground.
-
Continues the musical evolution that was evident on last year's Knock Knock, with a collection that goes beyond Smog's standard home-alone-in-the-basement-with-a-four track-and-a-weird-mood aesthetic.
-
A remarkably spare and focused collection?
-
Callahan's songs occasionally lapse into banal rhyming patterns, but more often than not he masters the metaphor.
