“In her excellent list of cultural resolutions for 2012, Flavorwire's Judy Berman lamented indie rock's return to "belabored, faux-rustic, quasi-literary troubadour stuff that we thought had passed its expiration date," adding that, "The Bruce Springsteen impressions are getting tired." She certainly has a point, but we are willing to make an exception for the man who's probably done more to bring Springsteen-esque blue-collar character-based lyrics back to the world of indie rock than anyone. We remain huge fans of Hold Steady singer Craig Finn's sharply observed and unrepentantly literate lyricism — and we're looking forward to catching his new solo material, which Finn aptly describes as "a little quieter and perhaps more narrative" than his work with his band.”
