Richard Buckner Dents and Shells

"[H]e fleshes out his dark folk with a full band....Clear-eyed musings on breakups-as-existential-crises." - Grade: B
3 stars out of 5 - "Buckner's dense, elliptical melodies and bits of whispered wisdom, given half a chance, will get under your skin and put you in a darkly meditative state."
"It's moody as hell, with an aching, nameless despair and all the intimacy of a crack-up. Of course, he's brilliant." - 4 out of 5
3 stars out of 5 - "[W]ith Buckner at large in a dusty, wide-screen landscape of brushed guitars, weeping pedal steel and decorous strings."
