...Pornographers will be surprised by this album’s grittier, more soulful aesthetic. Country-fried “Confessor” tracks like “Star Witness” and “Hold On, Hold On” inhabit a different sonic universe than indie-tastic Pornographers rave-ups like “Letter From an Occupant” and “The Laws Have Changed.” This is not to say that fans of Case’s Pornographers work will not enjoy her new record—if anything her devotees will...

As the band began to play, Sparhawk surreptitiously emerged from behind the curtain to join the band in this cover, showcasing his louder, wilder side on some tremolo-tastic guitar accompaniment. Seeing the normally subdued Sparhawk thrashing briefly on his guitar evoked his side-project the Black-Eyed Snakes, for which Sparhawk rattles out aggressive blues guitar and wails through an old harmonica microphone.
