The San Diego City Beat just put out their 6th annual Local Music issue, which included a short review of Longsleeves' three EPs.

Jame Musselman (aka “Long-sleeves”) apparently had a long December. The first of his three EPs, Black Swamp, is sparse folk fare that bogs down in a mire of heart-on-sleeve dreck about “weeping willow trees” and the like. In contrast, the subdued electronica of follow-ups The Rift and Wire Fraud suggests that Mr. Sleeves should spend more time with his laptop and less time with maudlin introspective masturbation.

Fair enough.
