The songs are haunting and beautiful, and they’re recorded and presented in a warm, crisp manner. Headphone listening is highly recommended; the aural surprises are sublime and enhance the experience.

This shadowy and lushly orchestrated affair is draped in mystery, swathed in folk, and doused in rock, possibly making it Elf Power's best album so far.

Gone are the sweet indie pop/rock melodies everyone's learned to expect and instead come folky, acoustic guitar-driven songs.
