Cass McCombs has his 'Catacombs' full length out this week and it kicks off with 'Dreams-Come-True-Girl' which was the preceding single that Brian reviewed the other week so I'll skip that tune.. Okay so you probably already know the score with this guys music. He's highly regarded as being one of the kings of the current bunch of American singer songwriters. You know although I wouldn't choose to play this at home I don't mind it. He's clearly a talented artist and has been doing his thing for a while now. If you're a fan then no doubt you'll be digging this for years to come as it's no fad. Probably not one for the neon new ravers but the songwriting will probably stand the test of time. I sound like my dad, who would probably like this... Out on CD and LP through Domino.

Cass McCombs releases his beautiful new album, ‘Catacombs’.
Like his previous LP ‘Dropping The Writ’, ‘Catacombs’ possesses that rare ability to attack both the listener’s heart with its melodies and textures, and head with its poetry and themes.
