"After two heavily produced albums in which they might have reminded listeners of the Sundays produced by The Cocteau Twins,(not such a bad thing,) they switched producers, stripped away layers of sound, and discovered that less is more. With the introspective songwriting of lead singer Karen Peri..."  [+]  Reply
