"Many artists can make albums with a retro vibe, but I've heard none that quite match this one. This is just... peak." Reply

"Two years after Big Thief's fantastic Dragon New Warm Mountain I Believe In You, frontwoman Adrianne comes through with another superb collection of tracks. There isn't a bad song on here at all and I'd be surprised if I hear another folk album as good as this one all year" Reply

"Overall solid folk album. It wasn't my speed, I'm picky with folk and skew more towards lyrics and voice compared to other genres (which didn't do it much for me on this)." Reply

"This album was an experience. It's not an album to be listened to passively, but one to give your full attention to. The night I first listened to it, not once through, but three times, will forever be burned into my brain. At times the music overwhelms you, and that's exactly the point." Reply

"Yep, he’s done it again - another masterful release. This time full of life-affirming positive mantras and a transcendent connection to a higher meaning." Reply
