Consumer Guide Reviews:

Post-War [Merge, 2006]
Loud is over if you want it ("Magic Trick," "Rollercoaster"). *

Hold Time [Merge, 2009]
What if an overrated singer-songwriter was so damn understated he found true love and/or Jesus and nobody noticed? ("To Save Me," "Oh Lonesome Me"). ***

A Wasteland Companion [Merge, 2012]
Sad singer-songwriter loses his marbles one marble at a time--says so himself ("Primitive Girl," "Clean Slate (For Alex and El Goodo") **
