jsAug 23, 2005strange, beautiful music. as good as almost anything he has done... up there anyway. the artwork is ridiculous. you can order it directly from phil's label and get the vinyl, with a choice between a free cd copy or a printed tab/lyrics sheet... whatever those are called...

RichardKSep 27, 2005i actually think 'No Flashlight' is his best yet. the closer you listen, the more apparent it is that this album is just plain awesome.

With No Flashlight, Elvrum is shifting the focus of his music onto himself. It’s unclear whether this is the smartest move to make, in light of his obvious production mastery.
-
The album’s arrangements are as thematically monotone as the raw lyrics, building rock beds for Elvrum’s unpredictable, but dangerously uniform, vocal melodies.
-
The album's laissez-faire production fails to anchor its quaint, melody-allergic songs. In turn, Elverum's retiring vocals float to the top, which is a horrible place for them.
