“Hypnotic. A sort of song to drift off into a different world to. If that makes sense. Lovely melody, atmosphere.”

“Featuring an ex-member of Okkervil River, an amazing voice and beautiful music...this a must have.”

“An unexpected tempo and tone for this album, but it does a great job picking things up. Fast-paced (for these guys, seemingly), it's a great scratchy guitar riff that only makes the vocals sound smoother. Strong drums are nice as well.”

“You can really feel the emotion in the climax of this song, at about the 1:45 mark. ”

“This song is beautiful. It is as simple as that. Piano, strings, chimes, high hat whispers and that fantastic voice. ”
