    All Music Guide Review

    Agenda's Another Country drifts much further afield than your average alt.country comp, reveling not in convention but the delicacies and darkness of tangential Americana. It moves diagonally between the post-folk intellectualism of Miighty Flashlight and David Grubbs and through the achy hope of Peggy Honeywell, touching on the traditionalism of Be Good Tanyas and Calexico along the way. In between there's Low's "In Metal" -- a standout from that group's 2001 effort Things We Lost in the Fire -- as well as literate roots material from Chicagoans Wilco, Jim O'Rourke, and Sam Prekop. Scud Mountain Boys' "Silo" could be the most affecting thing here. "I'm gonna shoot the livestock when I go," Joe Pernice hums over a mournful acoustic guitar. The line aptly describes the acrid smoke of finality, human frailty, and love-fueled rage that's always permeated country and roots music; it's the same cloud of dust that hangs over the powerful, introspective Another Country. ~ Johnny Loftus, All Music Guide
