A.V. Club: Best of the Decade

Artist Richard Buckner

Richard Buckner's dark, winsome folk-rock rewards patient listeners with layers of smart, occasionally wounded stories. Buckner has left behind his more rocking major-label days (which included a beloved 1997 album called Devotion + Doubt) to issue his oak-solid work on a smaller indie scale that suits him all the better. He hasn't released an album since 2006's Meadow, but Merge Records recently reissued three older records digitally—The Hill, Impasse, and Bloomed—available on the label's website.
