Reviews

Yet another start for Jandek... Hello, he sings, its February. For the title tune, Jandek spends fifteen and a half minutes alone on piano! No vocals either. His hammering chords at the high end of the keyboard sometimes sound close to his hard-strum guitar, but the more melodic moments, especially the lower notes, are new sounds for this artist. By virtue of the instrument, Jandek sounds more in tune than usual, but listen for those passages where he combines chords to somehow create bell-like sounds, or the high-end crazy freak-out stuff that he uses very sparingly. The overall mood of the piece is somber, classical in a broad stylistic sense, with free-style flourishes that are maybe unconscious. Pretty great. -- Piero Scaruffi The History of Rock Music Vol. 4
