Eight of the album’s 11 songs stray over the five-minute mark (with two more than twice that length), and there are the covers of Yes’s “Long Distance Runaround,” Ric Ocasek’s “All Mixed Up,” and Paul McCartney’s “Silly Love Songs.” Kozelek may have strange taste when it comes to picking out covers (“Silly Love Songs”?), but on this album he’s also showing a commitment and sense of deliberate purpose that I’ve not heard from him before. Even in the album’s centerpiece, the more than 12-minute long “Make Like Paper” that contains a guitar solo that supposedly is responsible for 4AD dropping them, there’s not a false move. The song unfolds gently, revealing more facets of itself than the spare instrumentation would seem to allow. The guitar’s absolutely delicious Neil Young/Robert Quine/Richard Lloyd crunch doesn’t hurt, either. That crunch shows up again in “Long Distance Runaround” and “Silly Love Songs,” but the rest of the album is built around a gently arresting acoustic guitar that mirrors the soft-voiced Kozelek. –Randy Silver
