"For fans of supreme lyrical quality, Adam Svec will scratch that itch
and then scratch some more.  Also the lead of Minneapolis outfit The Glad Version, this is Svec’s singer-songwriter debut.   His style evokes the fine-tuned qualities of Ben Gibbard (Death Cab for Cutie),
but has a sound entirely unique.  Svec’s incredible vocal range is
machted perfectly with all kinds of uncanny lament eked out of his
sparse guitar.   It truly works, and magnificently so.   His  mix of
testimony and tales is captivating, personal stuff.  Perhaps a little
sad, but the kind of sad that feels oh so good…  Definitely something
that will be coming out of my stereo as I get through another winter in
the city." - Josh Becknell
