Album Notes & Community Reviews
A defining track of the mid-2000s freak folk movement, pairing Newsom's virtuosic, Appalachian-style harp playing with her distinctly idiosyncratic vocal delivery. The song's pastoral, poetic lyricism established her as one of the most uniquely gifted songwriters in modern alternative folk.
