"It's a fitting tone then that this album is akin to waking up from a period of rest."

More Cass McCombs More Cass McCombs

After a relatively productive number of years, in which he released two full-length features in 2011 and a great follow-up in 2013, artsy-folksy-indie kid Cass McCombs has been in hibernation, excepting last year's B-sides and rarities collection.

It's a fitting tone then that this album is akin to waking up from a period of rest; drowsy (Bum Bum Bum) and occasionally brutal (Rancid Girl), it features the talented Angel Olsen (Opposite House) and less lap steel than other albums but remains another quality album nonetheless.
