    I'd written off Castanets a few albums back, but randomly gave this a listen. And I'm SO glad that I did. It's an excellent bunch of songs, and one of the most underrated albums of 2009.

  1. Deeply individualistic, dark and woebegotten, one can't help but root for his continued presence seemingly regardless of his efforts.
  2. There's a certain kind of magic going on here and it needs to be accounted for.
  3. Overall, Texas Rose, the Thaw, and the Beasts is a good mood record, a midnight opus that sounds great while it's playing but doesn't much travel with the listener beyond its runtime.
