Bright Flight

VINYL FORMAT. "On the Jews' latest releases, Bright Flight, [frontman David Berman continues to captivate. Berman's palette is a world in which George Washington shares a stage with the University of Tennessee Volunteers, the Royal Trux, tanning beds and a waterslide in Chattanooga. When he sings of a sky "low and gray like a Japanese table" and "icicles dripping/like the whole house is weeping," he connects the dots of the painting with a talent usually reserved for classical sculptors and software designers. With the craft of a Raymond Chandler, he gives us words we can touch and feel as much as hear, singing about a time in which "every single thought is a punch in the face" and a girl whose "fuckin' body broke my eyes." - Nude As The News
