"How to define it? Brilliant Full of emotions, an exploration of acoustic and digital instruments all in different layers.

"This is a very raw, emotional, and just beautiful folk album. Excellent guitar playing, passionate vocals, really beautiful word play, and feels. Lots and lots of feels. Case in point, "The Sparrow and The medicine"" Reply
