Apr 4, 2012New Wild Everywhere may not bring anything new to the table, but what It does bring, as is the case with the best comfort food, has been honed to perfection.
-
Apr 3, 2012Jokes are fairly hard to come by on a record chocked with sleepy, lilting stomp-alongs like these, but fortunately the gaps are filled by warmth, quality and not a little fiddle-playing.
-
Apr 9, 2012New Wild Everywhere conveys a new maturity for the GLS, showcasing the assembled talents of the members, and highlights promises of even better things to come in their future.
-
Apr 3, 2012When Dekker and company mate them with the spare and echoing folk of "The Knife," the rollicking, steel-and fiddle-driven country rock of "Changes With the Wind," or the stately swell of the "Quiet Your Mind," they produce something of understated yet resonant beauty.
-
Apr 18, 2012The album title evokes a sense of novelty and wonder, but paradoxically, the summation of New Wild Everywhere is not as great or wild as that of previous albums.
-
Apr 6, 2012This album is too good to dally over, because it's so good, jaw droppingly good, not a false note in the bunch kind of good.... Record of the year stuff.
-
May 25, 2012It's fine. It's well-rounded. It's cosy.
-
Apr 4, 2012The result is an album that is altogether pleasant, but just doesn't do enough to distinguish itself on the map from the rest in its genre.
-
MagnetApr 6, 2012There's an easy likeability to Great Lake Swimmer's latest release. [Yet] many songs don't hold up on repeated listens. [#86, p.54]
-
Apr 5, 2012The result is a poppy, polished, triumphant record augmented by backup vocals and violin from new member Miranda Mulholland.
-
Apr 3, 2012The result is their most mature and polished LP to date.
-
Apr 4, 2012Their weakest record to date, one that lacks the subtle power and distinctive personality of their best work.
-
Apr 11, 2012An album that feels sometimes self-assured and under control and at other times far too hemmed in.
-
Apr 13, 2012At times, the country air's so strong you can smell the hay/freedom. Far more often, though, Dekker and company find the sweet spot.
-
Apr 3, 2012Great Lake Swimmers' mix of clean, '70s-style country rock with Old World European grace is never less than inviting.
-
Apr 3, 2012Great Lake Swimmers' sugar-sweet ditties easily drift in one ear and, unfortunately, out the other.
-
Apr 25, 2012The fifth album by Great Lake Swimmers, called New Wild Everywhere, is melodic and graceful.
