...on Smog's 1997 album Red Apple Falls, and it's striking to consider how much has changed in the years since. Callahan's baritone has lowered about an octave; he used to sing through his nose but now his voice (a much richer and more resonant instrument) seems to come direct from the murkiest depths of his lungs. His arrangements have also grown more sparse, and on all fronts he’s learned how to say more with less. It’s one of many paradoxes in Callahan’s music, that in abandoning a method of singing more traditionally considered “expressive,” he's actually learned how to express more.
Callahan's learned to use negative space so well that there's even poetry in the pauses.
Terrible review here:

Not terrible in that the journo clearly loves it (and Apocalypse) but she clearly has no clue what she's talking about.
she clearly has no clue what she's talking about.
Spent most of today listening to the new album. Its great. Some lovely optimistic moments.
The second last Bill Callahan album (Sometimes I Wish I were an Eagle) is phenomenal. You should definitely check that one out.
