    Country meets garage rock - very unique, and very appropriate for the times. This is a great record, and I highly recommend it for any indie music fan.

    The Boy From Lawrence County could be made into a feature film. Ian Felice is the finest songwriter of his generation.

    I'm underwhelmed. I had enormous hopes for this record because of how much I loved their last self-titled one. But frankly I'm bored by it. And "Penn Station", the strongest song on the record just makes me want to clear my throat every time I hear it. Work a little harder on the songs next time brothers.

  1. The trembling 'All When We Were Young' is less convincing, and 'Memphis Flu' falls apart in drunken frenzy before it even starts, but across 13 songs, Yonder Is the Clock proves timeless.
  2. The band does not so much make this record as keep it from flying apart. The intoxicating sound is matched with incisive word play, with the Felices using quirky laments and dark, urban poetry to bridge hillbilly and hipster.

    Playing songs about cops on the take and dying in Penn Station with a hurtling forward motion that prevents the music from sounding (entirely) like a book report. Killer accordion solos, too.
