    This is for you if you enjoy sitting patiently quiet in your easy chair, allowing these beautiful melodies to wash over like the gentlest clean ocean wave. Although not as fully realized as their earliest Sup Pop releases, More Sad Hits and The Wondrous World Of..., this lovable couple once again prove that staying true to your roots (w/ their earliest ground breaking work in Galaxy 500), This is for you if you enjoy sitting patiently quiet in your easy chair, allowing these beautiful melodies to wash over like the gentlest clean ocean wave. Although not as fully realized as their earliest Sup Pop releases, More Sad Hits and The Wondrous World Of..., this lovable couple once again prove that staying true to your roots (w/ their earliest ground breaking work in Galaxy 500), can be a successful formula.

Yes, the earth is blue and this recording proves it!… Expand

    Taken individually, Damon & Naomi's songs possess distinct personalities.... However, when consumed as a whole, The Earth Is Blue metamorphoses into a thin musical mist. [Apr 2005, p.116]

    Fans of the newly resurgent psych-folk scene should definitely investigate the record and the band, too.
