Slowcore, dream pop, and alt-country do go extremely well together, and The Jacket is another proof to that. However, I can't help but want more of an aesthetic that inevitably ends up in the background for me. Real pretty tho.

I really want to love the album because ?While You Wait? and ?Everything Is Simple? are great indie and dream pop tracks over the lush alt-country guitar work. But after about 15-minutes of this album, I am pretty over it and the monotonous slowcore leanings take hold of you.

By no means is the new Widowspeak a bad album. It's also not boring by ill-inspiration. Its brand of slowcore (I assume) usually thrives on this dream-like meditation. The problem here is me, because the band did what they could with the style and prevailed inasmuch as one can given the style. The problem is me, because I cannot even pretend to find joy or inspiration in listening to this, I find neither cause for contemplation, nor means of relaxation. It's just void to me.
