Album Notes Viva Voce: Kevin, Anita (vocals, various instruments). From Portland, Oregon by way of Nashville, this guitar-and-drums husband and wife duo (he plays drums, she plays guitar, they both sing) play accomplished alternative pop tinged with hints of psychedelia that's a world away from the White Stripes' garage rock sound. Some of their songs take the form of mini-opuses, like the shifting movements of "When Planets Collide," while others, like "From the Devil Himself," conjure both the Mamas & The Papas and "Jean Genie"-era David Bowie.
Editorial Reviews 4 stars out of 5 -- This follow-up injects the Portland duo's cosmic American vision with a creeping paranoia and, in places, a much heavier, rockist edge. Uncut
Q 3 stars out of 5 -- [I]t's certainly sinister: even the bass guitar sounds like an articulated lorry crawling uphill.
