Supernatural Strategies for Making a Rock 'n' Roll Group (2nd Edition)

So much of the allure here is in watching Svenonius skirt absurdity. He’s always seemed delighted by the fact that the profound and the preposterous can sound awfully alike, a realization that puts him in line with an avant-garde tradition that stretches back before rock ‘n’ roll crystallized this fact … Neither bourgeois nor prestigious, Supernatural Strategies may be the rare book by a rock musician to retain any power or threat.– “Los Angeles Review of Books”
Svenonius has walked the walk … Even today–as the frontman of Chain & the Gang and the host of the online talk show Soft Focus–he remains cool, cryptic, and impeccably dressed, a mod magician with a trick always lurking up his tailored sleeve.– “A.V. Club”
