    Thile's creations rarely boast a singalong factor, but deliver on terms of sheer musicality. [Feb 2018, p.98]

    Thile can be a little too harmonically complex and over-wordy, while his whimsy can irritate (check the jaunty Elephant in the Room, about being trapped with relatives for Thanksgiving). But sometimes--as with Douglas Fir, a heavenly Yuletide duet with Aoife O’Donovan--it hits the spot.

    He celebrates a liberal culture of generosity (“I Made This For You”) and cultural diversity (“Thank You New York”), exemplified by a musical inclusiveness and sophisticated lyricism which, though occasionally a touch too serpentine and verbose, at its best brings to mind Sufjan Stevens.
