Leigh Marble's third album stares down frightening stuff. His wife's battle with breast cancer fuels his angst, and the desperate horror of "Evil" sounds informed by these trials, which sent him into a depressive funk. Musically, the album is far from a downer. It moves between a variety of styles that are enhanced by fellow musicians like Erin McKeown, Jesse Emerson, Rachel Taylor Brown, and The Ascetic Junkies' Matt Harmon and Kali Giaritta. "Walk" starts the album with the opening salvo "I'm going to walk until the anger's gone," and the grim but determined procession begins. "Jackrabbit" ramps up with a forceful organ riff. "Nail" presses forth with a heavy slowness worthy of sadcore experts Low. "Holden" takes an angry swipe at hipsterism, with the electric guitars behind him doing the real damage. "Pony" rocks out like The Replacements in their prime, with two and a half minutes of straightforward rock 'n' roll.
