“Painterly album tracks” – Instructions for a Funeral by David Means

"He's consistent, yes, but he's more than consistent too because consistent suggests workmanlike when in fact what he's doing is exemplary. We know he's not for everyone - and we say that because we can see that some of the beauty is beneath the surface and could be missed if all you want from a book is something to hurry through. You don't want to hurry through David Means. There is both density and intricacy here. Tell us about the other stories you might say. Tell us about 'The Butler's Lament' (another stand out). Tell us about Means' ruminations on 'Carver & Cobain'. Tell us about 'El Morro' and 'The Ice Committee'. I'll tell you this: they are all great stories. Why don't you find out for yourself?"
