   About the Broken Letters
tense and haunted, the kind of powerfully bleak music suggested by groups such as early Angels of Light or 21st century Earth while not specifically sounding like either -- Americana as 'goth,' but not limited by that description - billboard.com

Idiosyncratic to the extreme, but astoundingly gorgeous in places. Especially when the thunder comes. - Aiding & Abetting

There's something both transcendent and ickily incarnational in this music, like the best work of Southern novelists Walker Percy and Flannery O'Connor. - Pacific Coast Inlander

"It’s very rare that you find a Jesus Lizard type band where every member is a badass and is absolutely crucial to the sound."

So goddamn true. Are you a Jesus Lizard fan? How have we not discussed this?? One of my favorite bands on the planet.
