Notes: What
a difference a year makes. Moving on from the sonic landscapes
of the first record the fellers added a new record company and
bunch of instruments and planted an alt-country seed into the minds
of many. In addition to keyboard duties Chris Cacavas adds his
guitar talents to this record as well resulting in a fuller, more
defined sound. The band turns in a strong effort from all corners
and the vocals have that whiney, plaintive quality that some consider
annoying, but that I’m rather fond of in most cases. This
is one of my "desert island" disks, but so are all of
their other works as well. Very nice photo work on both sides of
the covers. The rear picture with its acoustic guitars and armadillo
foretell the alt-future to come. Love it.
