...frustrating, considering that Tarantino’s previous soundtracks have been largely comprised of American popular music. But the producers still manage some ear candy—Nancy Sinatra’s rendition of “Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down)” uses guitar reverb and slow, deliberate whispering to imbue a story of destroyed childhood love with striking grace. Luis Bacalov’s “The Grand Duel – (Porte Prima)” instantly rockets listeners back to their childhood dreams of being the good cowboy in the final...
...Kentucky quintet’s foray onto the empty alt-country road has never been brighter, more decisive or had more reverb. Where Tennessee Fire drunkenly laid out maps and 2001’s beautiful At Dawn sounded the ignition, the new album pulls out all the stops along the 72-minute path.

...Vagabond is a good example, opening with lonesome hobo harmonica wails and blues guitar. U.S. star Beck provides folksy vocals to a lament on contemporary rootlessness before the whole thing explodes into a galaxy of dissonant synth spirals and stuttering reverb. Radian builds slowly in layers of symphonic strings and acoustic guitar into an achingly beautiful instrumental anthem. Like all Air's tunes, it's a mini-soundtrack in itself, an accompaniment for one of the many moods a day can bring...
