“shipwreck songs from a master storyteller”

“John Darnielle trades the lo-fi confessional for high tragedy, finding transcendence—albeit a touch of distance—in the performance of survival.”

“The musical tale of three shipwrecked souls makes for an unusually linear Mountain Goats record, full of powerful moments that not even the eternally moving John Darnielle can scrape into the whole it deserves.”
