UncutSpiky, lyrical, quiveringly pretty. [May 2006, p.100]
-
MojoIt's in essence a wordless, monochrome Television. [May 2006, p.104]
-
Around is a bit spotty but when it works, it really works well.
-
Too many of the songs are flimsy and fragmentary, never shaping into anything substantial and coming across like incidental music.
-
For every piece that sounds like aimless noodling, there are keepers like the strutting "Wheel Broke," the guitar-only "Mountain," the Tortoise-style "Balcony" and the absolutely gorgeous "Eighty Eights."
-
Q MagazineSounds like the work of a man touting for soundtracks. [May 2006, p.131]
-
Wholly forgettable.
