On their sixth full-length, this Brooklyn-based collective  crafts a delicate mix of hazy, airbrushed melancholia infused with a  brighter undercurrent - a promise of good things to come in a country  tinged manner that'll have the hardest of hearts melting. Channeling Fred  Neil and Bobby Goldsboro, Gary Olson fulfills his promise as one of the  more inspired songwriters of the past decade and anchors his current batch  of songs with his restrained baritone. The Ladybug Transistor sound more  self-assured here, perhaps due to the addition of keyboard and guitar.
