    Her own albums--this is the third and most transparent--reveal grander structures and a singular perspective, as she sings with tuneful equanimity about deep, unresolved, enigmatic struggles.

    The real nuances come out when this music is heard closely on headphones, but even when they blare out of speakers, there is something alluring to grab the ear and pull you in.

    A kaleidoscope of wonder, moments tucked inside other moments like Russian nesting dolls.

    Calder never strains, never belts it out; she finds her sweet spot and reveals in all album long. [No. 119, p.53]

    The album is a bit too pretty and polished for its own good, with the kind of approach that fades into the background at times, but there's no arguing the quality and thoughtfulness that Calder put into this work, and if you like the notion of indie pop as ambient music, then this may be just the album you've been looking for.

    In Calder's songs solace proves elusive and fleeting, but when she finds it, it's always during moments of calm.

    While Kathryn Calder certainly deserves credit for its open mind and surrealism, sometimes the bigger topics get lost in the smallness of the songs.

    Fun, easy listen? Not so much. But Calder's vocals are too cheerfully bright and the sounds too pleasant for things ever to become a downer.
