This is Jed Sm... I mean Mick Trouble at the absolute height of his powers. Mick is the master of chiming guitars, expert melodicism (including in the bass parts), and songs that simultaneously make you ecstatic and angry at Thatcher (or whoever the Thatcher analog is in your life situation). Best album of the year. Jeremy Jensen
Dreamy, intricate guitar pop from Oakland's Absent City; splashes of accordion, sitar, lap steel, and mandolin add textural richness. Bandcamp New & Notable Oct 26, 2020

What a joy to find this on bandcamp, having missed out on the vinyl rerelease. I'd only heard Strawberry Window prior to this, but I love that song and have done since first hosting it on Radio Scotland, back in the late 80s. This is exactly my kind of music, layered, anthemic guitars and great melodies. At times, it brings to mind another great lost band, The Train Set. Fabulous stuff. richardw27
