    He achieves a quality record that expands his sonic palette while also retaining his unique identity.

    There’s no stridency, special pleading or chewing of scenery, just gentle enactments. This is what folk music used to do before Volk became toxic. Malkmus represents his characters via traditional techniques. [May 2020, p.54]

    Fans of folk and Malkmus alike will find something to love here, even if Traditional Techniques doesn’t quite make the grade.
