Michael Gira has done a large amount of work. Some of is sounds nice and much of it is dark. Much more is very nasty. I guess that is why he has such a large Goth following that pays attention to his every move. Recently Gira has created a lot of folk music and good tunes. He has embraced narratives and told stories. Much of this album is vocals and acoustic guitar. Not much of the dark vibe can overpower these songs. "The Kid Is Already Breaking" is a song about Devendra Banhart. There are plenty of songs about children and time passing. Gira uses mostly the Akron/Family as his backing musicians on this record. Of course there are some frequent collaborator like Siobhan Duffy on here too. There are plenty of new sounds on this record. It is a good place to start listening to his music. Michael Gira will always be an American musical genius. Maybe more people can find this out in the future?
