There’s so much to listen to on The Wagers of Love…, and all of it’s good. Is 19 tracks a little exorbitant? Maybe, and some listeners may not prefer to take in so much of Sullivan’s signature style all at once–there is the risk of sameness. Personally, I can never get enough of this sound, and I think there’s enough variation and playing with the core idea to keep it from getting stale. Deep down, I think what you’re hearing is the sound of a talented musician really, really enjoying himself. I believe you’ll enjoy it, too. A lot.

This latest collection of emotional post-rock miniatures from Drew Sullivan aka Slow Dancing Society is by turns cinematic, tender and edgy. Sullivan continues to prod and explore the boundaries of his art and The Wagers Of Love finds his music as seductive as ever.
