Purple Rain would get poned....

These freshly released tracks from pseudonym-lover Will Oldham, showcase much of what has made the "Prince" of Indie successful--minimalist instrumentation, haunting lyrics, and emotive vocals. Interestingly enough, I find there's an aged quality to Oldham's voice... a rusty paint-peelin' quality that doesn't detract from the tracks, and probably isn't noticeable unless you listen to him a lot. Antiquity or not, this is a good taste of what may come from Oldham in 2007, wrapped up in four neat little tracks.
