This Austin quintet follows 2007's "The Stage Names" with a second tour de force about the collateral damage of fame.
-
The Stand Ins has its moments of enlightment, but, as a whole, it's a distant cousin to a far superior record. [Fall 2008, p.82]
-
This record is a sequel to 2007's "The Stage Names," and it shares its predecessor's concerns: artifice, authenticity, and above all, the sniveling insincerity of hazy-eyed media zombies.
