Album Notes & Community Reviews

Trading their typical alt-country grit for sweeping, elegant orchestrations, the veteran Seattle group delivers a remarkably sophisticated collection of chamber-folk. The album is deeply atmospheric and unhurried, emphasizing slowcore pacing and gorgeous, intertwined male and female vocal harmonies.
