Album Review
Andy S
Reviewed 2010-10-10
Super-pretty, bare-bones indie folk: acoustic guitar and a couple intricately harmonizing female voices. A great, home-recorded purity to the sound (low-fi in that sense, plus a little tape hiss, but no distortion). Heads up: most of the tracks start with at least a couple seconds of silence, so cue up or fade out. RIYL Fleet Foxes, Grizzly Bear, Shearwater. My picks: 2, 5, 13. FCC clean. –Andy

*1 - Sweet, earthy vocal arrangement with a little guitar
**2 - Wistful, pining, arresting
*3 - Spacey and somber like Shearwater (oh and hey, it's even got a bird name)
4 - Acappella, wintry and medieval
**5 - Slow, thoughtful, and sweet
6 - Cutesy, plaintive
*7 - Acappella southern porch music, a decade too late to make the O Brother, Where Art Thou? soundtrack
8 - Plodding guitar and lush, reverb'ed vocals; slightly spooky
*9 - Cooing, vaguely Celtic lullaby with nice guitar
10 - (Starts ~0:12) Slow, lulling, reverent
11 - Nice mid-tempo a capela arrangement
12 - A cappella biblical/hymnal round
**13 - Really cool, soulful ditty with a real rhythm in the vox; even features a very quiet bass drum
