"It's been over two years since Désormais -- Mitchell Akiyama and Tony Boggs (aka Joshua Treble) -- released their fractured and poetic album iambrokenandremadeiambroken?. Once again, Montreal and Cincinnati were the landing and sketch pads for a collaboration written in black ink and whiskey. Some droning and fluttering crosstalk from iambroken? has bled into this latest work -- the guitars are still damaged, the strings still splintered, the drums still clapping like thunder? Intentionally and incidentally entitled Dead Letters To Lost Friends, Désormais's third album flits between nostalgic lilt and joyful explosion and elaborates on the group's instrumental palette. The result is less a pile of sand than a piece of sandpaper, a cohesive surface that holds several styles of disorder."
