dan jones Barry, I dig the big wide palette of this adventurous album. The variety of sounds and soundscapes give the rough hewn story songs a nice place to live and the story songs bring the cosmic vibes back home. Thanks for being weird and real.

Bright gray sheets of roaring and shimmering guitar held aloft by a delicate web of percussion. Post-rock, shoegaze, psych- rock and hints of bluesy folk, all audible and enmeshed. IlsaJ
