The aching sensitivity of many of these lonely acoustic compositions is balanced against an inventive backdrop of instrumentation.
-
This is the stuff of classic sad-bastard pop music, but the arrangements elevate this to a different, more interesting level.
-
A few more tangible melodies would have gone down well, but the overall mood is magnificent.
-
MojoThe same drifting mood is maintained from start to finish, all nine songs being gently eclectic acoustic musings with occasional electronic decorations. [Apr 2002, p.101]
-
A gentle tremble of an album.
-
Sleeping on Roads is both more subdued and more universally poppy than anything Mojave 3 has released to date.
-
Taking into account the sometimes spotty songwriting and its overtly dreamy similarities to Mojave 3 (like if they'd had a back massage and 1200mg's of Valium), there isn't much to save it from solo slump status.
-
The nine songs retain an insular, slept-in charm, with the same Californian Nick Drake brief as Mojave 3.
-
Alternative PressWith this soft-spoken and delicate record of almost-drawling songs, he's moved his work one step closer to Nashville. [Mar 2002, p.81]
-
It certainly doesn't sound that much different from a Mojave 3 record, if not quite as excellent due to the less than prime quality of some of the songs.
