berman’s first album in ten years is a majestic work of introspective country-rock that stephen malkmus fans will gobble up, no doubt. full of double-jointed wit and wisdom, up to the neck in his special recipe of handcrafted country-rock joys and sorrows that sing legendary in cracked and broken hearts. The songs of Purple Mountains are a potent brew, stitched together from lifetimes, knitting the drift of the years with the tightest lyric construction Berman’s ever attempted. The portrait is David Berman’s most to-the-bone yet, very frankly confessing a near-total collapse from the first moment, then delving into the layers of nuance with twin lasers of personal laceration and professional remove. “expertly sequenced as a narrative of lethargy, collapse and recovery, ‘purple mountains’ is ultimately an album about return […] prepare to be taken in” 4/5 – mojo.
