Oct 7, 2015Alex G has always found power in the broken and uncertain. He’s just gotten a lot braver about spinning that chaos into beauty.
-
Oct 8, 2015Familiar, yet impossibly charming.
-
Oct 9, 2015This record was defined by never being in the same place at once--each song was recorded in a different location--but there’s a glue holding everything together.
-
Oct 8, 2015Complicated arrangements and gorgeous melodies reveal themselves to you as rewards for your patience. Over time, even the alien voices begin to sound natural, even inviting.
-
Oct 7, 2015Alex G’s narrators have often been traumatized, druggie, lovesick or inscrutable, and moving up the indie-rock circuit hasn’t made his new songs any more outgoing. Just the opposite: They are more cryptic and withdrawn.
-
Oct 7, 2015Money, manipulation and vaguely unhappy mediums haunt the album's lyrics, though indistinct phrasing and a blearily subdued vocal mix make these themes feel like peripheral, subconscious murmurings.
-
Oct 12, 2015Unfortunately, there is no great reveal here, in which a burgeoning talent steps up a gear.
