The Civil Wars

"The Civil Wars have ceased to be a functioning band ... An album which begins by brilliantly capitalising on its history ultimately ends up exposing how it was derailed by it. The lasting sense left is of an unexplored potential which, if this is it for The Civil Wars, could be in its own messy way an appropriate swansong".

"White's throaty delivery meshes perfectly with Williams' remarkably pure vocal tone to create an intimacy that verges on the claustrophobic. From the country swing of "From The Valley" to the fulsome blues rock of "Oh Henry", the album is instrumentally heavier than its predecessor, and this makes the stripped-down songs stand out to greater effect. So, the bittersweet cut and thrust of "Same Old Same Old" and shaded intensity of the Smashing Pumpkins cover, "Disarm", claim their space".
