    Even though Vieux Loup is markedly different from its predecessors in the Acorn's catalog, it feels like a natural, graceful evolution, and is an elegantly understated, resonant listening experience.

    Vieux Loup is an intriguing, layered record.

    While moments of greatness emerge, there's a unfortunate limpness to proceedings that undermines otherwise outstanding songwriting.

    It's a beautiful record, but perhaps not the evolution expected after a four-year break.

    After the confident aire that helped make No Ghost as good as it is, Vieux Loup feels like a regression, a “safe” record that fails to capitalize on the growth we were seeing throughout the Acorn’s tenure.
