An album that has all of the elements necessary to be a pop classic.
-
Jim Guthrie has created a masterful soundtrack of peace and tranquility, similar to the crowning achievement of another earthly troubadour, named Sufjan Stevens.
-
It's a lush, gorgeous record, but it's also small and still, full of unassuming first-person monologues.
-
Frankly, the results are incredible.
-
We adore this album and are pretty sure most of you will, too.
-
82Now, More Than Ever is both hushed and sprawling, serene and agitated, jumpy and constant.
-
80Guthrie successfully matches his idiosyncratic lyrics with subtle, layered arrangements lush with strings, crisp guitars, and shifting song structures as likely to burst into anthem or lilt towards confession.
-
80Immersed in beautiful, stirring string arrangements, heartfelt melodies and an all-around warm and welcoming down-home folk feel, the new album is sincerely soothing.
-
A pleasantly lush album that may be his finest work yet.
-
Acoustic without being folksy, poppy without being pandering, and quirky without being annoying. [Oct 2004, p.144]
