Even though the album clocks in at just over 43 minutes, it seems much longer due to the snail's pace of nine of the ten songs. This doesn't ruin the album, however, it just means that it takes a couple of listens to grow on you. Guitarist Mona Elliott has a voice that sounds like a haunted version of Kristin Hersh from Throwing Muses.
