Palace Brothers - There Is No One What Will Take Care Of You LP

Oldham's stark, intimate tales of sin, lust, alcohol, and hopelessness are fascinating, horribly compelling stuff, and while it would be easy for this material to sound ironic or condescending, it isn't - the characters' shame, confusion, and desperate search for grace real & genuinely moving. It is the work where his obsession with sin and redemption shines forth with the most painful and absorbing clarity.
