 Sponic Zine - Music Reviews - Norfolk and Western   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
Adam Selzer is the man behind Norfolk & Western, an indie folk/country collective that recalls the delicate, restrained songs of Lambchop, early Palace, and Low.
Winter Farewell operates under the vague notions of Civil War ballads and Alan-Lomax-style field recordings (mixed with lush, analog studio numbers), but never quite attains a thematic unity.
Otherwise, Winter Farewell is a faultless foray into minor-key, mid-tempo melancholy.
