Fall down beneath their own weight"

the best American songwriter currently working


"One of the reasons Darnielle is the best American songwriter currently working is that he refuses to settle for the easy emotional beats in whatever story he’s telling. He uncovers the same desperation, doubt, and grace in Biblical narratives that he did in a squalid, shut-in house of meth addicts, because people in Darnielle’s songs, whether loving or hateful or outright psychotic, are always first and foremost human." vale mesmo a pena ler o resto do texto, como vale também uma leitura este.
