Album Notes & Community Reviews

The sixth and final studio album released before David Berman unexpectedly dissolved the beloved indie rock project. The record boasts a surprisingly warm, polished country-rock aesthetic that beautifully supports his signature deadpan, hyper-literate storytelling. It serves as a brilliant, bittersweet closing chapter to one of the most revered songwriting careers in 1990s alternative music.
