Guitarist-vocalist Quinn Goodwillie and his bandmates Nate Bartley, Sam Grant, Ben Geier and Eddie Lo made their recorded debut with "I Am Your Shroud" in 2006, but the new disc is a leap forward in terms of the sophisticated songwriting and gorgeous soundscapes; recorded in Portland by Dylan Magierk and finished in Chicago at Steve Albini's Electrical Audio, it recalls some of the best likeminded efforts those gentlemen have given us in the past, in particular Magierk's work with Red House Painters and Albini's contributions to the sadly under-heralded Rachel's.
