Review

Rolling Stone (p.71) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "[A]n engaging album full of rootsy beauty: gorgeous, wilderness-wandering ballads like 'Stolen Shoes & a Rifle' offer all the benefits of a great pastoral folk-rock record..."
Rolling Stone (p.90) - Ranked #13 in Rolling Stone's 50 Best Albums Of 2008 -- "[P]ositively boisterous, jumping from glam-y folk rock to latter-day R.E.M."
Spin (p.102) - 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "[R]ollicking outlaw narrative 'Black River Killer' and backwoodsy 'Lady on the Water' shine with spacey, eclectic instrumentation, from blipping synths to serene woodwinds."
Blender (Magazine) (p.78) - 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "On this fourth record, singer-guitarist Eric Earley accesses the haunted Americana Wilco nailed on YANKEE HOTEL FOXTROT, with big nods to mid-'60s Bob Dylan, early-'70s Neil Young and the country Grateful Dead."

Title Note

The fourth album (and first for Sub Pop) from these Portland, Oregonians is a fine pastiche of folk, psychedelic, and indie rock influences. Songs like "God & Suicide" display their formidable knack for surrounding classic vocal harmonies with dreamy textures and swirling accoutrements, while "Saturday Nite" brandishes a bit of goofy piano boogie and "War On Machines" rocks out in the vein of Teenage Fanclub. A bit more meatily folky than peers like Dr. Dog but less aggressive than fellow melody makers the Shins, Blitzen have secured themselves a secure niche amongst the early 21st century's hook-happy revivalists.
