It's difficult to describe an album we've been waiting almost four years for especially when the first one was so close to perfection despite the lo-fi quality and slapdash aesthetic. This time out Richardson and crew are a proper band. In fact, they've been playing together now for almost a year and a half, and in that time the songs have developed, evolved and, well, have become a bit more polished. That's a good thing, a very good thing, and it doesn't hurt to have an ace recording engineer either.
I might be lazy, but I think Eric Harmon said it best. "Somewhere between Johnny Cash and the Replacements."
Limited to ~320.
