    A collection of slow, sad, stately songs whose obvious studio smarts are dwarfed by a big bleeding folkie's heart.
  2. Junkmedia
    90
    A record of remarkable beauty.
  3. Dot Music

    The results breathe that same rarefied air as Nick Drake or Vashti Bunyan.

    When friends come over, I put this on towards the end of the evening, and invariably end up writing the artist and title on a scrap of paper, so that they can go off to buy it the following day. An emotonally generous set of songs and, by any criteria, a sensational debut.… Expand
