"...lyrics like....embody Silver Jews leader David Berman's gift for enigmatic, yet uncanny observational word play....the record is Berman's most fully relaized collection of tunes to date..."
Pitchfork (Website) - "Absorbed in metaphor, ennui, and isolation, the loping music of AMERICAN WATER didn't seem like it was trying to be art. It just was."
