“Lay low and pretty and don’t make a sound,” advises Skypiper frontman Graham Burkum at the close of the heart-melting ditty “Lay Low and Pretty”, the title track for the folk outfit’s full-length debut. This sentiment seems the group’s official credo, as they’ve kept mostly anonymous in the local scene, yet pumping out songs so rich in pathos they could bring Omaha’s most callous bastards to their knees. In celebration of the release, a string arrangement will accompany the boys through the entirety of the album, certainly forcing the audience to weep into their tallboys, which is great because Old Style isn’t nearly watery enough. — Tim Greenup, The Reader
