The album’s tracks guide you through an intricately designed journey as notions of genre blur into the periphery. The arrangement starts out sounding like a rowdy electric American blues rock band but by the fourth song, cellos are the focal point. Later, there is a powerful and eerie instrumental waltz which showcases a scorching finger tapping metal style guitar performance. Other songs have distinct stylings ranging anywhere from samba reggae to traditional roots country. The overall effect is a continually welcome surprise of assorted familiarities that finds cohesion in nostalgic evocations.
