Without going into the extensive cross-references and Barlow's entanglements with the lo-fi music, provides the experienced solo artist again at its own mix of rock and folk. He seasons the opener "sharing" with spherical rock guitars, must have received at Akkustikstücken as "Faith In Your Heartbeat" inspirations from faded Nick Drake and then swings but with "The Right" loosely into the sunset. The Masher "One Machine" He makes heavy on Americana and seems almost traditional, what with the short "Praise" same wonderful Schrammel-romance is given in good indie style the best.
The acoustic instrumentation characterizes the album, produced anthem character and often conjures up a smile on the listener's face. This happens especially when Barlow so wonderfully nasal sounds and thus so wonderfully evident between Mascis (Dinosaur Jr.) and Caws (Nada Surf) seems to be located! I forgive a full five stars and I am pleased about this silent plate of autumn 2009: "Warm and benevolent"
