All Hail West Texas
remastered
2013
To give Darnielle the final words, I wish All Hail West Texas was a Moebius strip. I could ride it out forever.
At least two songs on All Hail West Texas flagrantly bemoan the state-of-the-art burden of uncurbed, soul-charring consumption. But whether you embrace the hiss and crackle or not, Darnielle seems to be, like the poets he cites, settled in his spot on the fringe.
