As a 74-minute album proper appended with an additional near-half-hour of alternate takes, Mark Kozelek's giving his many admirers more than enough to sink their teeth into five years after his last album of originals. No big surprises here, although certain details do stick out among the expected strong-sadsack stories, such as the oldtimey British folk sound of banjo ballad "Heron Blue", the single-note buzzsaw solo that takes up nearly sixty seconds of the peak of electric stomper "Tonight The Sky", Will Oldham's sympathetic backup singing throughout, and the Spanish guitar runs that end it all on "Blue Orchid".
