Philadelphia City Paper: Top 21 Albums of 2006<\/strong> “For those who prefer their regret rock dappled with sunlight and hope (think Nick Drake or Hope Sandoval), local hero Arcuragi and his Philly-rock all-star supporting cast manage a neat trick: a bittersweet, lyrical debut album that’s intimate without feeling autobiographical; you’re never quite sure whose shoes he’s gazing at. The songs are introspective by proxy, as if 11 folks with slight serotonin imbalances each consigned Arcuragi and his burnt-honey baritone to express their elliptical inner narratives. The standout in an album full of gospel-tinged, literate vignettes is “1981,” which just may be the catchiest, most repeat-playable track of the year, and is almost certainly the best song ever written about the special theory of relativity.<\/p>\n
