    These songs are bittersweet, haunting yet hopeful, and endlessly listenable. Duskland is Cale’s golden hour.

    These are sighs as much as songs, with Cale's vice rarely wavering into anything more obviously declarative than a half-snarl, half-mumble. [Sep 2015, p.71]

    Songs filled with rustic, caught-between-light-and-dark country metaphors. [Sep 2015, p.95]
