Reviewed 2013-02-03
Slow (slowcore, even?), pensive, easygoing alt-country/folk rock with super-simple structures and interesting arrangements. Project of the very prolific James Jackson Toth. RIYL Phosphorescent, Red House Painters, Lambchop. FCC 6, start with 5 —Andy

*1 - (11:48) slow, simple, lilting; no vocals until 3:20
2 - (6:53) quiet feedback to start; breezy guitar and hand percussion; mopey
3 - (1:24) instrumental, building; Neil Young rock guitar with pounding percussion
*4 - (2:38) mid-slow, murky, plodding; female harmonies and ambient sound
**5 - (3:53) quiet droning intro, soothing lap steel and harmonies
**6 - FCC "bumfuck" (6:12) driving mid-tempo; scratchy guitars and dramatic builds
7 - (6:05) slow and plodding; noisy outro/reprise with 0:40 left
*8 - (1:57) raw voice and guitar, nice, direct, yearning Jay Farrar country
