painful melancholy

I really liked this album at first, the songs are long, melodic, droning. But, they are as depressing as hell and I can barely listen to music like that. Too somber by a half for me, and I really like most melancholy music, too.

For getting great praises on here and itunes, I was expecting something more. This is just nothing to me. Nothing.

Did nothing for me

This is a rare event. It's the first time i've actually deleted tracks i've downloaded from emusic (2 years sub). I did give it a chance. I listen to a LOT of varied music and this just didn't work AT ALL for me, vocally, melodically, atmospherically, structurally. I wanted it to grow on me, but it hasn't. Sorry.

amazing

Broughton is completely his own amazingly heart-felt sound. But in the process he conjures up Skip Spence, Jandek, and Frusciante, mixing startling lyrics with a sense of space and duration. Emusic: get us his new(old) album!

a five song gem

This album just knocked me flat, with reminders of Songs: Ohia, Chris Bathgate, and a voice that would give Antony Hegarty a run for his money. This album was recorded in one take in a church in Leeds (you even get the church bells at one point), everything played by DTB and looped to create incredible multi-layered songs. "Execution" sounds incredibly sincere, even with the shockingly blunt lyrical content of the song. And hell, it's five tracks of sprawling folk goodness. Definitely worth the downloads.
