Drunk's pitch of low-key indie is accompanied by lagging, long-winded experimentation on their third album,
Tableside Manners. The album's 11 tracks -- most of them monotonous, melancholy ballads -- relate as one epic-length song, with brief breaks every three to four minutes. Resembling a slow-motion
Pavement, with occasional undertones of keyboard and mandolin,
Drunk are about as exciting as watching a corn field grow. ~ Mike DaRonco
