Album Notes & Community Reviews

Co-produced with Randall Dunn, the Boston songwriter wraps her delicate, fingerpicked acoustic folk in gorgeous, shadowy layers of reverb, pedal steel, and ominous synthesizers. The incredibly intimate lyricism acts as a deeply personal timeline of a failing romantic relationship, documented over a series of agonizingly slow, beautiful ballads. It significantly expanded her critical acclaim beyond purely underground folk circles.
