Nad Navillus - Show Your Face 
Dan Sullivan played backup guitar and vocals for Jason Molina's Songs:Ohia during their
last tour (or two). Show your face is Sullivan's first full length under his own branding -- in which neither Molina (though his brother Rob who also toured with
songs:ohia appears here on bass) nor his style appear here.
Nad Navillus, instead, lies somewhere between Nick Drake and Slint -- as odd as that may sound.
Songs and moments of classical guitar and folk are followed by ones deliberate and intricate as math rock, as vocals retune themselves to the mood.
I picked
this up at Etherea, my favorite record shop in manhattan. The clerk said the album was utterly beautiful and was surprised I bought it. 'Why?' I asked. The shop got
in 5 copies. He's been listening to 1/5 since the day it came in last month. I bought the first of the other 4. :(
