    Alternately haunting, beautiful and tragic, Killer Road is a fascinatingly immersive listening experience that requires no previous knowledge of Nico’s work to appreciate.

    If Soundwalk Collective's music is often lovely but understated, Patti Smith's vocals give Killer Road the pale fire that makes it come alive; she never sounds like Nico, but she ably brings forth the voice of a poet facing her final crisis, and Smith understands that just well enough to communicate it to the audience.
