Having released an album nearly every year since coming together, show a remarkable lack of atrophy in either songcraft or musicianship. If anything, the group has learned to do more with less, leader contributing some of his most concise songs yet. is a tender of consolation which sings in a weary and loveworn tone. may be based on a somewhat derivative riff, but and sound like the perfect marriage of early and any number of good bands. With tough but engaging riffs and just enough rootsy kick to keep things grounded, is a bright light of an album. ~ John Duffy
