    End Times Undone is another exceptional album from an artist who doesn’t seem to make any other kind.

    Go places they do, whether its Comin' On's sweetly dumb pop, the garage chug of Lose Myself In Sound or the dense yet loose Crazy Horse-style feedback and riffing of Crow and Dropper. [Oct 2014, p.112]

    End Times Undone is a fine addition to a long career of near brilliant indie rock.

    What you end up with on End Times Undone, is a trance-y, pop-psych, hypno-rhythmic romp that showcases a group of players that have magically meshed into a single hive-mind, behind the very talented Mr. K., at the top of his game.

    It packs pleasant moments into its short span, but it prefers to settle down with a listener ready for unsettled introspection, for an immersion into intelligent songs from a reliable musician fronting a solid indie band.

    His eighth solo album is a fine place to start investigations of this dappled terrain, in laces a little heavier and more psychedelic than one might expect. [Sep 2014, p.74]

    End Times Undone neither elbows past nor dwells too much on Kilgour’s considerable legacy. It’s a frozen moment in a continuum, and it shines with suitable magic.

Most of songs on "End Times Undone" goes with acoustic guitar on lead and neo-psychadelic background of electric guitars. But electric guitars are not drowned in thousands of unoriginal Guitar Rig computer "echoes" effects like (sadly) it's in lot of cases of young alternative indie bands. There are instruments at the first side and then effects for final colour of sound. This release is like instruction for all indie bands how to record great album.… Full Review »
