Quotes

...ontemporaneity comes from its cunning use of music: the exquisitely performed soundtrack shuffles like an iPod from an Estonian song to the Beatles " Rocky Raccoon, from PJ HarveyHarvey s The Last Living Rose to Chris Isaak's Wicked Game, the last inevitably calling to mind the films of David Lynch , which epitomise a whole other set of cultural reference-points, be it cop shows or The Godfather , The Usual Suspects or film noir. And every track either slyly comments on or subtly develops the narrative, and frequently does both at once. Critics who complain that there are too many protracted songs , and that most of them should be cut are, I'd guess, missing the point."
