Idaho-bred singer/songwriter Josh Ritter's V2 Records debut follows in the footsteps of 2003's Hello Starling only in instrumentation. While he retains his literate tongue and expressive voice, there is far less humor on Animal Years than on his previous two outings. Producer Brian Deck (Iron & Wine, Modest Mouse) keeps Animal Years intimate but transient, like a circus train crawling through a small town on a busy Saturday afternoon

Ritter is a talented songwriter with a loyal in Europe-but Animal Years is not likely to be the breakout hit his many fans anticipate. Where Deck honed The Moon And Antarctica into a quirky wonder of an album and fleshed out Iron And Wine’s Sam Beam’s songs with a much-needed warmth, Animal Years sounds unsettled: the arrangements are far too bombastic for this record’s purposes. The album opens strong, with the protest ballad Girl In The War. Depicting a conversation between the apostles Peter and Paul, Ritter’s lyrics have a lot of weight and confidence, but his voice is too timid for the Yankee Hotel Foxtrot-esque mess of chimes and drones behind his tenor. On some tracks, such as Wolves, Ritter’s voice is slightly distorted, as if to compensate for its lack of edge, and the effect is awkward.
