Last year, Wichita released Fevers and Mirrors in the UK, an album that some of us erroneously believed to be the debut from tortured, soulful, ex-Catholic and Nebraskan, 20-year-old Conner Oberst. Erroneously, because in fact Oberst had already released two previous albums, A Collection of Songs (written and recorded between 1995-1997) and 1998s Letting Off The Happiness. (This, after forming Commander Venus at the age of 14, and releasing another two albums!. As might be expected from a precocious artist who has excited comparisons with Elliott Smith and Daniel Johnston, this is a raw and intimate affair: "Contrast And Compare" strangely sounding like Flaming Lips, "The City Has Sex" as frantic and oversensitive as Oberst's British fans have come to expect, "Touch" saturated in layers of emotion. Members of Neutral Milk Hotel and Of Montreal contribute, and the resulting album is less polished than Fevers And Mirrors, less accomplished, but nonetheless wonderfully affecting. --Jerry Thackray (Review copyright Amazon.co.uk)
