Album Review: Cass McCombs - Big Wheel And Others

Adam Wilding

There’s never been a better time to get acquainted with the quietly spoken McCombs than now. known as he is for his poetic, bohemian existence and dark alt-Americana.

There's never been a better time to get acquainted with the quietly spoken McCombs than now. known as he is for his poetic, bohemian existence and dark alt-Americana. Not only is the volume of his releases impressive, but the consistent quality is something few solo artists achieve, and Big Wheels And Others follows suit, yet digresses somewhat from its predecessors to float along as one of those gems in a sea of releases, influenced somewhat by '90s shoegaze and worth the price of admission for the intro alone and the double-album quantity of songs.
