Carl Broemel (of My Morning Jacket) reflects a things as they are with zen-like contentment, making no judgment on how they should be...he gives pause for introspection but stops short of preaching, The songs are firmly planted between past and present. It's in these little fractured moments that the listener bears witness to thoughtful contemplation that give rise to epiphanies on larger themes. Deft in its presentation, the songs on the album unfold in a dream-like stream of consciousness with lush and elegant arrangements.
