The Guardian names John Murry‘s ‘Graceless Age’ in the top 50 albums of 2013.

What They Said “Through stories that are partly his own – the centrepiece, Little Colored Balloons, ends with Murry’s overdose (‘I took an ambulance ride – they said I should’ve died, right there on 16th and Mission’) – Murry invests the South with a necromantic realism, where decay is the one constant, but he somehow avoids self-pity or lachrymosity. I don’t expect to hear a better album this year.”
