"I watch the stars run away/ They can't wait to leave/ the sky today/---Thus begins Another Lonely Night, the first track of Willard Grant Conspiracy's _Mojave_. And it got me. Bad. It's a beautiful song.The rest of the album is uneven and repetitive, but it has moments of sheer brilliance. Take Archy's Lullaby, for instance...slow, beautiful, haunting. It's one of those songs that glues itself to one's mind. Take The Work Song and its lovely lyrics...soothing, and peace inspiring.The Nick Cave comparison doesn't really strike me as appropriate. WGC's vocalist sounds a lot like Nick, but the music is also a lot different. It might appeal to Cave's fans though. I know I am one, and I loved WGC.But anyway, this is a band that needs to be discovered. They're _very_ good."
Devastaingly somber, deeply foreboding music.

"The cumulative effect of listening to these story-songs, steeped in rich lyrical detail that's allusive rather than conclusive is like hearing a summer storm brewing in the dark distance. It only sounds quiet, but you know what's coming."
