Album Cover Description
Almost identical to Graven Image. It looks like he stepped about ten feet to one side -- you're looking down the driveway along the side of the house, instead of just at the back of the house -- and took another photo. -- Seth Tisue
Reviews
Sixteen years after his first album, Jandek sounds more confident in his playing, and his vocals are more up front, but his detuned/untuned acoustic guitar and depressed, stream-of-consciousness folk/blues songs remain at the core of his music... Rain in Madison jumps out, a cracked blues-style story about... something (you know you cant bring no electric devices out in the rain). On Van Ness Mission, he turns up the echo full blast for a disturbing delic journey that continues on Anticipation like a free-style Tav Falco goin down slow. Nancy Knows is an awkward but complex instrumental that clearly shows Jandek now moving his left hand around the neck of his guitar in a way very foreign to his early open-strum approach. I wonder if the tune is named for the same Nancy who sang on chair beside a window back in 82. Take My Will is more early blues, Jandek-style... He pulls out his harmonica for a little dylan-squeal accompaniment on Plenty. The cycles of nature are not often rapid; listen as one of natures strangest wonders continues to slowly progress.
