This fascinating, laid-back affair is an interchangeable bookend to Galaxie 500’s introspective-pysch mumblings, a slowcore varient that ditches the drums (or at least a normal kit) in favor of light, trilling guitars and delicate female vocals. Like Nina Gordon attempting her best Nico emulation, Maria Christopher’s singing wavers between icy detachment and earnest confession, letting the words float between the spaces of a spare accompaniment, with just the suggestion of melody and meter.

While the gestures of nuance and refinement may be taking the Velvet Underground’s third album to extremes (and, after all, what could be more oxymoronic than extreme subtlety?), there is a method to their stride and patience. Hearing them disassemble Neil Young’s “Danger Bird” back into a delightful fuzzguitar symphony is worth a spin back again. For just the right calming mood .
