Fifty-word review

Skeletal Lamping

Buy It

Adorably schizoid as ever, Kevin Barnes diverges somewhat from a proven recipe. Skeletal Lamping is equal parts: autobiographical fragments; Penthouse Forum fantasy; bedroom studio masterpiece; overproduced glam rock revival; bipolar concept album; random musical sketches; bubble gum; broken glass; order; entropy. Making sense yet? No? In brief, then: catchy chaos.
