like someone else pointed out this screams "oops, we weren't paying attention when this came out a year ago, but let's do this belated track review so we can say we were championing him from the beginning when his LP on Matador blows up."

The War on Drugs are opening for Rodriguez!



That album was almost as grossly overlooked as his S/T last year although it did get a little bit more press.
