to the mellow and guitar driven song."

of performance art, or a brooding play (...)

Both vocals are remarkable and make for a beautiful blend

when they do join together for parallel moments of reflection."

acoustic strains, sustaining lead lines snaking around an evocative lead

vocal telling stories like a carnival provocateur (...)"

opgebouwd naar een furieus einde."
