Free Music Notes for River Ain't Too Much to Love
Free Music Review: Hey, this is like Sparklehorse. BUT GOOD!
Hit: 4 Stars
Heard one of Smog's tracks on a free magazine disc years ago, and without the tracklisting have been hunting like an obsessive since for the artist. When I found out who it was I bought a couple of albums at random (never a good way to do things, I know). However I was pleasantly surprised. Callahan delivers his stoner lyrics with ease and is perfectly accompanied by simple melodies. 'The Well' is a fantastic example from this album - addictive and in the same vein as Peter Hamell's music (listen to it and then put on 'Uncle Morris').
If you want a good album to relax and unwind on a summer evening, you couldn't do much better than this.
Free Music Review: Low key genius
Hit: 4 Stars
This album goes brilliantly with a bottle of red wine.
Fantastic simple guitar work and some wry lyrics.
Highlights: The Well; In the Pines
Free Music Review: Smog? More like Smug.

And I truly would understand this disposition if it were cemented in talent, but I mean come on. O.k. you're aesthetically "aloof", but aloof and engaging are too separate things, stupid.So you've thumbed your nose at society, you've thumbed your nose at "accessibility",but you've got neither the wit nor the talent to justify your "inaccessiblity". Maybe it's time you thumb your nose at yourself and call it a day. I'm sure Will Oldham would appreciate having a larger footing in the aging-hipster douc*e bag domain.
