What??? This has been out for almost two months and no reviews?

I thought I had all the Vic Chesnutt releases I needed, having stopped buying them after the release of Silver Lake. But the combination of VC and Elf Power was too tempting. VC does some of his best work in collaboration with other bands and this pairing is perfect.

If you've never heard Vic Chesnutt before this is the place to start.

Ordinarily I like my Vic Chesnutt stripped down and raw. Just the pure poetry of that wounded, haunting voice accompanied by the artfully clumsy guitar work, as on "Skitter on Takeoff." But this work of apt, adept, skillful intrusmentation provides a different kind of frame for that voice, that poetry. What emerges is both more experimental and more accessible than what I'm used to from Chesnutt's more recent output.

I kept thinking this is the best Vic Chesnutt album since Silver Lake and then I thought, no, this is better. Maybe the best one since Salesman and Bernadette. No, its better than that too. This may be the best Vic Chesnutt album. This is the album I've been looking forward to since 2003's Silver Lake.
