Hurrah for an artist being allowed to mature over the course of time. When Time Out first tipped Athens GA songman Matthew Houck for greatness, his records glowed with promise – four years later, Houck has released this cohesive and dazzlingly brilliant album. Soft strums, gentle tambour and Houck’s shredded vocal evolve, layer upon layer, into something huge and hymnal, while the lyrics tell of something altogether more wild and nocturnal. Stirring, dark and beautiful.
