Hello,
Here's a review for the new record in L.A. City Beat magazine:


Gus Black
Today Is Not the Day to Fuck With Gus Black (Cheap Lullaby)
Gus Black's latest release is a lo-fi folksy affair with thorns. Although Black's trembling, soft vocals could easily be lullabies, the lyrics are surprisingly caustic, dealing with introspective and misanthropic issues, among other stinging, weighty subjects. Taking an approach similar to that of Jose Gonzalez, the locus of Today Is Not the Day … is a minimalistic mix of unobstructed vocals and raw guitar picking. But unlike Gonzalez, who sticks strictly to this formula in his seminal Veneer, Black allows this motif to vector out as the album progresses. Equally cottony female back-up vocals, subdued strings and muted percussion all seep in, making for a richer musical texture while maintaining the force and value of aural scarcity.
