Review
No longer content to mumble low-fi and lovelorn, Bill "Smog" Callahan has taken it upon himself to construct actual songs. Of course, he hasn't lost his darkly sardonic edge. On "Dress Sexy for My Funeral", he instructs a lover (with his oddly compelling deadpan delivery) to add some spice to his wake. Elsewhere, Callahan busies himself examining the wreck-strewn intersection of Sex Avenue and Death Street. Someone else's problems were never this interesting! --S. DudaOver the years, Bill Callahan (who is Smog) has evolved as a songwriter and record maker. His early work was scattered, filled with incomplete thoughts and lo-fi concerns. But with The Doctor Came at Dawn, he began crafting songs that on the surface wafted by with secure grace but underneath told tales of severe jealousy and disorder. For Dongs of Sevotion, he continues this fascination with unlikable characters. The opening cut, "Justice Aversion," explains things perfectly: "I root for the underdog / No matter who they are." Then the songs and disgraceful characters proceed. There's the guy who thinks only about his wife dressing sexily at his funeral and the one who brags about his ability to "hold a woman down on a hardwood floor." Recorded with four different engineers, the sound shifts from the solitary doom of Callahan and his keyboard to the unexpected near-soul groove of "Strayed." But no matter what he does, Callahan still sounds like Leonard Cohen's stepson trying to get a rise out of his old man. --Rob O'Connor
