CD Reviews

It's OK
oberon | eugene, or | 11/22/2006
(3 out of 5 stars)

"This CD sounds all right... But people seem to think a bit too much of it merely because it was made by someone from Iceland, "where Bjork and Sigur Ros come from." It's an admixture of folk-pop and avant-garde or experimental material. The "earnest" vocals in the folk-pop songs bring to mind Iron and Wine or some acoustic version of Coldplay -- perhaps too much for my comfort. The experimental material doesn't really resemble or live up to Beck's adept creative twists, as some reviewers have suggested, and it didn't grab me. I just didn't find it that challenging or compelling. In all, the mixture of material didn't hang together that well for me."
Music at its earthiness...

"Gutteral and carnal at times (a la Tom Waits), sweet as pie at others (a la Damien Rice), and sometimes a combo of the two. Decidedly original, decidedly beautiful (though not for everyone)."
Tom Waits & Beck have a love child

(5 out of 5 stars)

"If Tom Waits & Beck attended a bbq at Gibby Haynes house I believe this album would be the results if you recorded the event. By turns beautiful, clattering and silly this album has leapt to the top of my rotation. It is not for the consumer that wants musical wallpaper."
