Perhaps because nothing comes close to this, or that it came almost out of nowhere, this album took everyone by surprise.
The delicate guitars (taking bits of Americana, blues, to folk) and powerful vocals (often in beautiful harmony) awaken feelings that are almost primal. The lyrics are thoughtful forms on how to cope with life, death, and everything in between.
This is a very powerful and fascinating work, one that grabs you by the heart and would leave you longing for more.
