Reviewed 2003-02-26
hushed male vocals, haunting female backup vocals, and a sweeping but melancholy violin are the three main characters of this album. all tracks are slow, beautiful, and dramatic. my favorites are #3 and #7 but all tracks are pretty good.

1 - beautiful & tragic, setting the stage for the rest of the album
2 - stompy and heavy with kind of creepy vocals
3 - like swimming through molasses. and that violin just breaks my heart.
4 - a little more light-hearted & playful. definitely the "catchiest" track on here.
5 - the verses are neat: like a conversation between a boy and a girl, interrupted by the violin.
6 - sooo....slow....soo..sleepy...
7 - sweeping, soaring, pretty.
