This is an album evoking motion. The stillness of vulnerability, the rattle of anger, the drift of sorrow, the soar of hope, with every distortion and loop gracefully expanding the surface area of what folk can be. The drumming is subtly masterful, keeping time without concealing the fragile ensemble wrapped around it. There's something new to discover on every listen. The steady trot and horn crescendos of "Cattails" will move the wheels of your car.
