As Reviewed By Mister Esquire.

jammy stuff/alternanation scam/Neilism.
like fellow ex-Sonic Youth guy, Lee Ranaldo, Thurston worships at the alter of Neil Young.
ex-Sonic Youth guy, Steve Shelley plays drums on most tracks. buncha other in crowd musicians. (check inside: great cast.)
all tracks are long and jamming.
accessible&arty =One Of The Best of 2014.
MR. ESQ SEZ: MEOW MEOW MEOW MEOW MEOW.
FCC CLEAN.
SOUNDS LIKE: SONIC YOUTH, LEE RANALDO, NEIL YOUNG, TELEVISION, KURT VILE, DINOSAUR JR., ET AL.
PLAY: ANY/ALL/RANDOMEOW/SMOKE SOME CATNIP NOW.
1. PURR-FECT II: mid building chiming gits. his snotty voice kicks in. goes into jam at end. (note: all songs do this.)
2. PURR-FECT II: classic SY gits tinkling. builds, yearning, doomed. picks up pace at end.
3. draggy stuff. acoustic. chambery. sings like Beck.
4. PURR-FECT(TIE): upbeat, kinda countryish. like Television. smoke some catnip now...
5. catnip? catnip!
6. catnip! catnip! catnip!...
7. PURR-FECT(TIE): beautiful/ethereal/sublime.
8. PURR-FECT II: Television. Dead. Foo Fighters(!?) relaxed&relaxy&rocking.
