With Omega, Daniel Smith and his sibs complete the circle begun with 1998's visionary folk-pop record Tri-Danielson (Alpha). The Danielson clan make gospel parables that happen to be some of the sweetest, funkiest songs this side of the Shaggs' "My Pal Foot-Foot" or Daniel Johnston's "Speeding Motorcycle." These are campfire songs that sparkle with giddy goodness and lay claim to the purest part of self. Instrumentation has expanded to include gypsy-style violin and an enlarged marching-band horn section as well as greater use of keys, wah-wah pedal, and delay. Thus, Omega is a more funk-driven record with sharper intensity in the shambling orchestral arrangements, as on the effervescent "Guilt Scouting." Omega takes on the evils of TV ("Idiot Boksen"), judgmental people ("Don't You Be the Judge"), as well as a triad of "Deeper Than [America's] Gov't" songs that not so much preach at but administer to the souls of converts and heathens alike. --Paige La Grone (Review copyright Amazon.co.uk)
