This is a beautiful EP that is over way to soon. It could go on for hours and I still don’t think I’d be able to get enough. Zach Condon voice and his music are rustic, yet regal. To me, it sounds like a European adventure. Rolling green hills, clear skies and friendly natives.
Rating: 7.8
Moving from his solo, Jeremy Barnes-accented bedroom recordings, Condon’s now part of an eight-piece band. Smart move. Gulag showed promise and also limitations: In retrospect, the most intriguing sounds often amounted to ambient pastiche. Pretty but vacant. Now, a solid, pulsing group of players fleshing-out his songs, Condon opens to something less paint-by-numbers static– it’s more alive.

Once upon a time a California boy met a Georgia girl in New York. They didn't get along, at first. But, little by little, they fell in love. Today they are happy and still very much in love, running a business and a blog together.
