This group is now a thousand feet below and a thousand miles gone but this particular brand of sometimes-declarative, sometimes-pleading, always-emotive music still regularly finds itself in my ears.

The album demands to be experienced and the space it deigns it deserves is evident throughout but most surely in its opener, Brother. It’s accusatory and clearly personal for the lyricist but even so, I’m easily able to place myself in some of the locations the song takes one and it doesn’t relent.
