    The objective was to make a fucking brilliant album where the mood is king, the delivery is queen and studied modern coolness is a jester that's one misplaced quip away from being the lion's breakfast. And, of course, they've succeeded.

    Secret South may be an even stronger work than its predecessor, 1998's exceptional Low Estate
  3. All Music Guide
    80
    Seldom have banjos, violins, organ, and bandoneon (an old accordion that helps define the band's unique sound), let alone guitar, piano and, stand-up bass, seemed quite as intimidating and brooding as in the hands of this band.

    Their strongest set yet; an appealing amalgam of Nick Cave, Will Oldham and Joy Division.
