 | | The opening "Sun Song" combines Baird's lap dulcimer with Otto Hauser's nimble hand percussion and Foster's mesmeric, wordless vocalizing to create a full-scale gypsy swoon, one that could easily continue on weightlessly for miles before you realize your gas tank is empty and your watch has lost its hands. |
 | | Pursuing the persona poem, most of the songs are stories of tragic deaths, forbidden fates, and jilted love affairs, and stormy suicides, as well as some introspective first person songs. |
 | | Each song on the album comes lightly-dressed, usually borne along by little more than Nadler's voice, her finger-picked guitars, and ornamental flourishes from the occasional accordion, autoharp, or blurry wisp of feedback. |
