Sep 6, 2018Although they did not reinvent themselves and did not make a great evolutionary leap, the band took a new approach and it turned out pretty well.
Few bands can do so while retaining their identity and they did it.

May 9, 2018There’s a sense of importance and profundity that emanates from practically every groove. Stirring, striking and flush with tunefulness and tenacity, I’ll Be Your Girl is more than a promising proposition.

MagnetApr 17, 2018What it's missing is haunting songs--calamity songs, the kind of songs that used to proliferate on Decemberists albums like soot-smudged Victorian orphans. [No. 150, p.49]

Mar 28, 2018The album magnifies both Meloy’s core songwriting and the group’s gifts for bold ambitious arrangements. This brings out some dynamic juxtapositions between simplicity and elaboration that serve proceedings in a refreshing fashion.
