    Given the the Heavy Eights' strengths throughout, it makes more sense to say that Kilgour's definitely found his own personal Crazy Horse.

    The record is a spotlight for his delightfully unhinged guitarwork, which veers frequently into long, eloquent solos.

    New Zealand pop lifer David Kilgour's Left by Soft, his seventh proper full-length (and third for Merge), is a lovely addition to the veteran songwriter's catalog.

    Like most of Kilgour's solo work, it has a relaxed and quietly accomplished air.

    Kilgour and his band rip through these songs with a vitality and energy that never loses its careful touch. They build echoing layers without ever obscuring the distinct parts and vibrant melodies of each song.
