Reviews / Album

"Classy without being toothless."

"As exuberant as ever."

"Note to AC/DC: Axl may sell tickets, but Frank could be really interesting."

A tale of two halves - killer up front, filler up the back.

"There's no end of analog creepiness and deep, droning transmissions from some nightmarish future."

"A rich and malleable sound that moves across soul, reggae, dance and pop-rock with grace."

"The Altar experiments with distance, rhythm and a rainbow of distortion effects."

"This album - for better or worse - will challenge those listeners whose only relationship with Vernon is via Bon Iver."
