"From Fil Krohnengold, the inveterate secret weapon whose peerless skills on piano and guitar have been featured heretofore in songs by Gomez, Golden Smog, Buddy, Sally Jaye, Brian Wright and the Waco Tragedies, Duncan Sheik, and a host of others. With a keening tenor that hang-glides over that appealing chasm between craggy despair and defiant vulnerability and an electric guitar that just plain rocks, Fil's songs fall somewhere between the moody roar of Mark Kozelek and Neil Young. Best of all, the guy can string together a sentence and give it a melody, which is what you're supposed to do. And there's a real power here: a sort of thoughtfully grim resignation that, when bolstered by loudish guitar, transcends the inherent melancholy of the songs. Mellow but loud."
