Review
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Czars is a Denver-based combo led by John Grant, a vocalist that evokes the
haunting register of Mark Lanegan. Their first album, Before... But Longer
(Bella Union, 2000), is a collection of low-key bittersweet laments (notably
Val) that paint a private soundscape rooted in the collective American
soundscape in a manner reminiscent of the Cowboy Junkies and Calexico.
The Ugly People Vs The Beautiful People (Manifesto, 2003) evoked an even more
atmospheric Calexico, enhanced with the stately voice of John Grant. Drug,
Lullaby 2000 and Autumn increased the doses of psychological analysis, while
most of the songs simply "bathed" in a languor bordering on domestic trance.
