Jul 14, 2020The Avalanche wallows, but the realization rather than the anticipation of karmic retribution lends it emotional urgency even as Kinsella works in his familiar modes of meandering melodies, exquisite acoustic arpeggios, and the occasional lapse into cringe-posting that threatens to break the whole spell.

Jun 25, 2020Mike Kinsella has made not only one of his sincerest works to date, but also one of the most brutally honest albums of the year.

Jun 23, 2020Overall of The Avalanche is gorgeously rendered for days’ or weeks’ worth of isolated listening. Kinsella knows, it seems, that a bloodied and beaten heart is sometimes the best reminder of our own impermanence. With its non-stop fragility and intense vulnerability, The Avalanche demonstrates that no one wrings desperation from an acoustic guitar quite like Mike Kinsella.
