The final studio album released during founder Simon Jeffes's lifetime presents a beautifully whimsical, pastoral blending of chamber strings, folk traditions, and minimalist repetition. The lighthearted, entirely acoustic compositions serve as an elegant and deeply optimistic culmination of the ensemble's eclectic musical vision.
