The second full album from this Boston-based trio is a rich+ complex effort that keeps you coming back again and again+ and it grows with every listen. Guitarist+ vocalist+ and songwriter Mary Timony has a wealth of cool influences--from Krautrock and the Cars to the Velvets and vintage Pink Floyd--but all of them are filtered through her own distinctive personality+ and married with lyrics that take an unromantic but nonetheless inspiring view of life in the modern world. Produced by Mitch Easter (Let"s Active+ R.E.M.+ Pavement)+ this is a lush+ multi-layered disc full of such enticing touches as funky analog synths+ cool overdriven guitar tones+ Eastern percussion+ and strings. In fact+ the sound is almost as seductive as Timony herself. --<i>Jim Derogatis</i>
