"...On Catacombs, his fourth full-length and most stripped-down effort to date, the singer-songwriter steps out from behind the curtain that's cloaked his work in the past. And despite the sparser arrangements and increased focus on direct lyricism, it's every bit as aurally hypnotic as his previous work. It seems like he realized there was someone he really did want to sing to."

"The lyrics in The Snow Magic are optimistically melancholic, all rose petal lilts and murder ballad, cynical love stories and ghostly allusions. A feeling of being butterfly-stomached at the fading away of things. Copious complements to an autumn day. And while the album is dark and moody, there are moments of loosey-goose joy and playfulness that I would describe like barroom gypsy jazz in contrast to the funereal glum and glow of the record."

"Like My Morning Jacket before them, The Deep Vibration out of Nashville, Tennessee, have lovingly strip-mined the music of country-rock pioneers such as the Flying Burrito Brothers and the Band and succeeded in sculpting a sound that's as fresh as it is familiar."
