The WireAug 17, 2011Clamber aboard and settle in for a very sweet ride. [Jul 2011, p.55]
-
Jul 19, 2011Alongside Youngs' anxious, distracted acoustic guitar picking, the most characteristic sound of this album is a damaged electric guitar, pealing its mournful, inarticulate song again and again.
-
Jul 19, 2011Most of the album's six tracks begin in the same place, with a blue note bent harshly against Youngs' own meandering arpeggios.

Jul 19, 2011Richard Youngs' 11th solo album on Indiana indie Jagjaguwar ditches the keyboards of his recent releases, instead relying on disjointed guitars, eerily overdubbed incantations, and the rich, multihued drumming of Damon Krukowski (Galaxie 500, Damon & Naomi).
