Listening to a record is inevitably dictated by it's context. David Berman is a tricky one. American Water is self effacing, wry. Self depreciating. Droll. But there's a tragedy at it's heart and you can feel the man's pain. It's also just a great Indie record. But ultimately you'd file it next to Joy Division, Nick Drake, Big Star and Elliot.
