Description:
"..This `mini-LP` is all over the place, coming closest to Motel of Fools in the Pollard canon both in its brevity and its inconsistency. In seven songs, theres two very plain string arrangements that bookend the record. Then theres short acoustic tunes `Wickerman Smile` and `Waves, Etc`, both decent but unable to catch the ear. The bulk of the albums time is spent on `Cats Love a Parade`, an eight-minute tune that isnt so much a song cycle as a handful of snippet songs awkwardly strung together. The results are sometimes interesting, but overall taxing. The most successful songs here, `Circle Saw Boys Club` and `Touched to Be Sure`, are classic pop-tune Pollard fare. Theyd be comfortable on either of his Merge releases and contain his irreverent lyricism in spades..." -- Matthew Fiander, popmatters.com (Prom Is Coming)
