  The guitars arrive in huge shimmering layers, but the songs underneath are surprisingly tight and direct. Guy Chadwick writes melodies that feel melancholy without becoming passive. “Christine” and “Destroy the Heart” balance scale with intimacy remarkably well. The album understands that atmosphere works best when anchored to strong songwriting.
