    Lookaftering is some kind of miracle. [Nov 2005, p.100]

    What makes Bunyan's return such an unqualified success is that, unlike so many of those she's influenced (Patrick Wolf excluded) she doesn't come within a country mile of the briar patch of cloying kookiness.

    The record's treasure is folded into layers which make it an endlessly rewarding place to invest a couple of months of your life.

    A preciously solemn soundtrack for blustery days. [Dec 2005, p.124]

    Not as good as her first one but a fine record nevertheless. Her voice is a real winner and the guest musicians do a very nice job specially Joanna Newsom.… Expand

    The title to track 8 says it all: "Same But Different". It's still very good though.
