Album Notes & Community Reviews

For his second studio-recorded album with 4AD, John Darnielle crafts a harrowingly autobiographical narrative focusing on his youth spent amidst a community of methamphetamine addicts in California. The arrangements are increasingly full-bodied, utilizing driving acoustic guitars and tense piano lines to underscore the desperate, highly articulate poetry.
