Labels: Drag City
Review by: Chris Bress
This Jim O’Rourke / Wilco project is very much like the last guitar based O’Rourke LP. The songs are sweetly sung poppy indie rock songs but with a dark underbelly and some total freak out parts (which hark back to the days of the great Gastr Del Sol). There`s nothing that really stands out and smacks you in the face about this record but if you just feel like popping on a nice sounding record on a Sunday afternoon this record does the trick very well indeed (maybe not as much as the most recent Bonnie Prince Billy record). The second track is probably my favourite, and rolls along so well and the flowing guitar/drum loops are very pleasing to the ear.
