Dirt Buyer - Dirt Buyer III (LP)

Dirt Buyer's music has again undergone a logical but substantial evolution between albums. The bones are the same: ragged acoustic guitars, electric riffs chiming autumnally then caustic and overdriven, drums staggering forward. Then, his voice above it all: plaintive, weaving, breaking at times and finding new power in others. Buoyed by the bulletproof structures of the songs and more muscular production, Dirt Buyer III presents the fullest, most immersive version of Joe Sutkowski's sound yet.
