    Quiet Signs is eerie and somber with hopeful tones that are brought forth over a simple structure. Pratt’s style most likely resembles the singer-songwriter style of the late ’60s and early 70’s and it’s not unpleasant but even at only a 27-minute runtime, Quiet Signs is a real chore to get through.
    Tracks to enjoy: “Poly Blue” & “This Time Around”

    Quiet Signs is a meager helping of Jessica Pratt's pretty and subtly psychedelic style of folk songwriting.

    This is an album to sit with, to take in, and to fully appreciate its subtle and quiet beauty. It may not be her commercial breakthrough--someone as esoteric as Pratt could be waiting a while for that--but it’s certainly her best album to date.

    The breathy blur of Pratt’s vocals give these tracks a will of the wisp quality, as you chase after the lyrics only to find yourself becalmed and beatific amid iridescent fog.

    If you’re looking for muted mystery, Jessica Pratt’s third album, as its title suggests, will enigmatically oblige.
