“The long-time-coming sophomore album by former Neutral Milk Hotel member Julian Koster's Music Tapes project comes across like a sweeping summation of the history of 20th century American white-boy music, from the sounds of Appalachia or the Grand Ole Opry to MGM movie musicals and K Records do-it-yourself twee. Of Montreal's Kevin Barnes, A Hawk and a Hacksaw's Jeremy Barnes, Olivia Tremor Control's John Fernandes and Eric Harris, and NMH's Scott Spillane guest.”
