Punk Planet no longer prints every CD review in magazine. Boo! But the July/August issue had The Accident That Led Me To The World's self-titled debut in it. Yay! Not only that, but thanks to the vagaries of alphabetization it was the first album listed in the review section:
"Accident is a three-person nusical project centered around singer-songwriter Mark Mandeville, whose Leaf Tornado enjoyed modest acclaim last year. The group plays melancholy folk music that appropriately draws from archival folk, bluegrass, finer 1990s indie, and maybe even a little psychedelia. There’s a good deal of banjo (Mandeville again), played slowly and to gorgeous effect. Raianne Richards’s periodic vocal contributions are also well worth noting. Vocal talent isn’t something I claim to recognize, but Richard’s confident voice strikes me as piercing and lovely. Meanwhile, in addition to playing bass and guitars throughout the album, Zack Ciras serves as the project’s secret weapon each time there’s a bow in his hand. If you’ve enjoyed Andrew Bird, the Decemberists, Devendra Banhart, or Will Oldham in the past, you might consider looking into this one. Several MP3s are available on both the band and the label’s site." (Chris Burkhalter)
