    Through producer John Congleton's flourishes you can still imagine Jaffe strumming the songs on an acoustic guitar, each heartbreaking love song written for the same audience who embraced the subtle desperation of Suburban Nature.

While it's not the same, that's not to say it isn't equally good. She's definitely grown and matured and her music shows that. Full Review »
