Industry Reviews
Ranked #37 in Uncut's Best New Albums of 2004 - [The] songs continue to observe the Southern culture that engulfs him with equal fascination and repulsion.
4 stars out of 5 - The South seems a place outside of chronological time, and so do Jim White's albums. However much intellect and outsiderness he brings to them, he is still clearly gripped by his homeland's dark, dreamy chaos.
White conjures lost souls drifting through a mythical nation of pawnshops and cheap motels, his voice a sensual whisper over their rattling bones. - Grade: A
3 stars out of 5 - [I]t's a testament to his mastery of Southern-gothic atmosphere that his banjo, melodica and pedal steel musings on Jesus and haunted love never fail to raise goosebumps.
