"Emerging from behind the shadow of his “singer/songwriter” alias, Irma Vep, Stevens perhaps reveals more of himself as a human being than ever before. If Irma Vep’s overpowering compulsion was for self-analysis bordering on self-flagellation (as hilarious and thrilling as that often was), under his own name his stories seem more well-rounded, more honest. It’s telling on album closer 'Some Things Are Best Left Undone', a cover of his own song as Irma Vep. The same song, a beautiful ballad, is rendered here simply and boldly with piano and voice in contrast to the scratchy guitar version recorded 10 years ago. It might be an intertextual joke given the song title but we can afford Stevens his own private mirth given the killer last line of the song and album: “the horse you rode in on just died and I swear I saw a tear in his eye / You thought that he might try say goodbye but he didn’t and you wonder why.” Whereas the Stevens of 2013 might have covered up the core of his message with self-deprecating tape hiss or guitar brutality, here Stevens is telling his story, straight. His story, it turns out, is not one solely populated by ghouls, distortion and compulsion but one that we can all, horror of horrors, relate to. Just people doing people things, fucking up, stressing and relieving, living crooked or living straight."

Another solid gold release on Wrong Speed Records, worth the admission price for the opening track alone - but the sprawling following tracks are a heady delight. Skuzz, tone, pace, repetition, noise, all in the right and wrong places at the same time. Absolutely love it, will be right up there on best of the year lists bandtramp

A hidden masterpiece. One of the best indie/garage/noise/whatever-rock I've heard. Love lyrics and sound a lot, a release I want to be. onion_nikolay
