Despite the spacy album cover and the “metamodern” title, this is dead-straight country music. Ok, ok, the lyrics are a little trapper, and there’s that backwards guitar at the veeery end, but don’t come in expecting anything that takes overmany chances.
Still good. Simpson’s voice is resonant and round, conjuring Jason Molina at his best, and the vibe is dustyclean swoon and stomp, prickled with subtle angles and solid guitarwork, but the marketing’s a little misleading 3.5/5
