Dr. "Buzz" Frenzy (Matthew J Hesse) I was listening all day to a set of mostly Italian prog bands covering Marillion. Suddenly this very different sound comes on. I thought, "Man! This is like the arrangements and quirky melodicism of Cardiacs, but more like Sea Nymphs or North Sea Orchestra or..." After 4-5 tracks, I look to see who it is… Wow! <3 Wonderful, charming, melodic quirkiness in an art-pop/prog vein. If you aren't already a fan, I'd say it’s akin to a female-fronted XTC or a less-Crimsony Amy X Neuberg. Delightful! :-)

Damian Farnes I'm struggling to find the words to describe how much I love this album. It's next-level good. Every song a perfect gem, but for me the title track is astonishing; beyond incredible, goosebumpingly so. Makes my heart soar! Favorite track: memphis in texas.

Cullen Ln. every time I discover another record that impacts my heart and soul such as this one does, I get an inkling of fear that one day I won't find anymore, and all I'll have is what I got. Tim Smith has passed, and shrubbies only made one album, but I hope music as truly musical as this is always abundant.
