First album from two young, but experienced Americana/folk rockers, Ty Greenstein and Ingrid Elizabeth. This album is perfectly described as, “a big, orchestral sound that ranges from dirty blues to Atlantic soul to political folk, with vintage electric guitars, strings, pedal steel and rich harmony landscapes.” I would only add that they seem like they would put on a great show. Best for me: 1, 2, 3, 5, 10(FCC)

1.3:22 med – upbeat, happy Americana
2. 3:31 slow – nice vocal harmonies in gentle tune
3. 3:11 slow – nice bluesy tune that gets funky
4. 3:42 med – classic rock feel
5. 3:59 slow – piano/vocals
6. 3:52 slow – nice vocals with an orchestral feel
7.3:44 slow – breathy love song
8.3:34 slow/med – folk song feel minimal accompaniment
9. 4:30 slow – unremarkable gentle song
10.3:53 med – interesting beat, vocal depth ***FCC*** (goddammit)
11. 3:59 slow - political vibe
12. 4:19 med - hopeful tune about flying away/Indie rock
