I got this album when I saw Viking Moses live at Lemp back in the Spring of this year.  On this album Viking Moses offers up a collection of catchy, somewhat personal art cum indie folk songs often driven by minimal instrumentation (a piano or a lone guitar, to name two examples).  While the sparse arrangements seem like a shock at first, they perfectly fit the personal approach Brendan takes to both the music and the subject matter he sings about.  There’s a sense of longing here that permeates the record through these tales of life, longing, and even loss.  While widely considered a freak folk artist, Viking Moses tends to stand out from that sub-genre creating a blend of minimalist music and unexpected production to create something that will stick with you when all is said and done.  (BOONE)
