Davey Wrathgaber, the off-kilter poet, songwriter and humorist who calls himself the Visitations, approaches each new album with a theme in mind. What prevents any of the records from becoming too self-aware (as many "concept" albums become) is Wrathgaber's careful disregard for strict narrative guidelines in favor of focusing on writing well-constructed pop songs that challenge the listener to listen.
"Put this cd in your cd-rom drive for bonus material: mp3s of the Visitations catalog, video, lyrics, posters and print-out art projects."
