| | Interview: Kristy Thirsk of the Rose Chronicles, December 1996 |
 | | Centered on Maranda's guitar textures and Thirsk's soprano, it is quite easy to become gently bathed in the sonic beauty of the album. |
 | | Lyrically, however, there are trolls under every bridge, as Thirsk's delicious hiccuppy-vocals gloss over the sombre lyrical content culled from her pen. |
 | | Betraying the beautiful atmosphere of "Acquiesce," Thirsk sings, "See me dance through the noose/Will I choke to death/When I'm laughing?" Asked where she finds inspiration for her lyrics, she says dryly, "From the darkest pits of hell." Questioned further, she jokingly pinpoints this to be the Starbucks on Commercial Drive. |
