CD Reviews4.5 stars - AMAZING!!! Daniel Martin | Worthington, WV United States | 08/12/2009 (4 out of 5 stars) "I love Elvis Perkins' music. I became a fan as soon as Ash Wednesday came out. And where that album faultered just a little, this one does not. The songs are amazing. The first two songs are two of the best songs to come out this year, "Shampoo" and "Hey." The first is a dark, moody song with a great melody and a Tom Pettyesqu harmonica solo. The second is an upbeat little ditty that sounds like a song M. Ward wishes he could write, no offense to M. Ward. I don't know if there is another album out this year that can rival this one in terms of the two opening songs...even into the third song, "Hours Last Stand." All these songs are amazing. Even when he gets into a long ballad type song with "Send My Fond Regards to Lonelyville", which clocks in at over 6 minutes, it's just flows along and it's over before you realize it. The album ends with the very bittersweet piano ballad, "How's Forever Been Baby" which I like to think is a song about lovers reuniting in a sort of post apocalyptic world and it kind of makes sense that it might be about this considering one of the songs preceeding this one is "Doomsday." One of the best albums of the year. Key Track: Hey" Heard it on NPR Christopher L. Malan | Oklahoma City, OK | 03/19/2009 (4 out of 5 stars) "I heard this on NPR on the way to work this morning. It gave me shivers. The music is dark with minor chords and the strong sense of nostalgia evident in the lyrics creates an emptiness in the pit of the stomach. However, through a process of catharsis the ultimate effect is very uplifting. Buy it if you like highly multiphonic music with blues, jazz and alternative rock influences. Sounds like "The Arcade Fire."" Brilliant Jonathan Mazer | 03/18/2009 (5 out of 5 stars) "Elvis Perkins is the most exciting thing to happen to my generation of singer/songwriters-- and with Dearland, his music has become more upbeat while remaining as poignant as his debut, "Ash Wednesday". The best album of the year hands down."
