Phil Tagliere has mastered the craft of the "sublime ache." Each gem of a song fills you with hurt. The dense production adds to the subtle claustrophobia as he obliquely reveals his inner demons. Phil is joined by DJ Bonebreak (X), Don Heffington (Lone Justice, Jayhawks, Lucinda Williams), Eric Heywood (Son Volt, Richard Buckner), Stevie Blacke (Beck, Snoop Doggy Dog) and others on this gently heartbreaking album. -- Jeff Weiss, Miles of Music (Slow Ton Moving)
