Album Review

The idea of **Uncle Tupelo** as a modern band isn’t quite so far-fetched as it may superficially seem.

The album is almost uniformly compelling.

A body of work every bit as worthwhile as anything released in the Nineties.

Elegant dreampop at its finest...

As varied as the unrelenting bleakness might be, the true _coup de grace_ of _Ghettoville_ is the emotional bite it delivers.

The fear that **Dum Dum Girls** will always be playing catch-up is starting to become all too real.
