This review is from: Unconscious Pilot (Audio CD)

A great American writer once declared that a large part of what makes good writing is its possessing the intangible quality of being able to reach out to its audience and teach them how to read that particular piece of writing. The idea being that as one discovers a work, the work simultaneously informs the reader how best to go about that discovery. It's an interesting aesthetic, and one that the songs on The Great Depression's new album, Unconscious Pilot, manages to achieve almost effortlessly without exception.

Each track here is patient and deliberate, drifting through dreamy soundscapes filled with pianos, organs, percussion, and unbelievably warm-toned guitars that together reveal each song's well-defined though somehow still understated individuality. By the end of each track, one is left with a very clear impression of a feeling, an image, or a scenario that is separated but not entirely divorced from the rest of the record.
