It offers in personality and atmosphere what it lacks in originality.
-
For fans missing the pause-in-the-thunderstorm pregnant solitude of Songs:Ohia, Let Me Go will get you that fix you've been craving, a teasingly short half-hour reminder of his old persona.
-
There are, of course, a few missteps.... More often, though, the sparse arrangements highlight a resurgent songwriting force.

Essentially one long postcard from the very edge of loneliness and sorrow.
-
The whole album is relentlessly gloomy, comparable to the general glumness of a Xiu Xiu record but without the fun of a WTF factor.
