To be honest I use the expression 'album of the year' pretty rarely. Yet this time I dare to say: go and buy this record! NOW!
If you're in love with Wilco, Elliot Smith, Kozelek's Old Ramon, Beulah and the like, well - that's your jam.
If not, have your listen anyhow. Then your heart will be conquered by a world of teenie-weenie things, huge emotional landscapes, colorful dreams and memories as bitter as the coldest autumn wind.
Just do yourself a favor: don't miss it.
