...dark roots. Skin's polite production might win listeners, but Love's displays of rude beauty, of a sad radiance that seems to come from a place beyond contrivance--those are the moments that make this CD spectacular listening. Just hear her morose, lyrical ramble over Erlandson's spare guitar on Northern Star; or the line in the enchanting Malibu when she breaks the song's sweet spell, growling, "And I knew/ Love would tear you apart/ Oh and I knew/ The darkest secret of your heart."

Guitarist JK has created a terrific background album: something you can slip on as you sit in traffic, wash dishes, spend time with your significant other.

...Toole who is the real star of the first half of Slavs!. Popo brushes off the whining Rodent and barely sniffs when both Aleksii and Serge die right in front of him, and then runs off to...play his beloved girlfriend a love song on his guitar?!? O'Toole brings facial and vocal expression to hilarious limits, but without ever falling into the trap of acting crass or melodramatic. His sharply calm, no-nonsense voice melts faster than the Chernobyl reactor in the presence of his sweetheart, the cruel and mocking Katherina Serafima Gleb (Sara Yellen '00). She, in turn...
