Epic doomsludgestoner bullshit that got several "hey it's different" factors: female cast and vocals that bring a welcome diversity compared to the "fat dude with beard" vibe usually associated with this kind of muzak, and violins that either complement the background or take the lead. What makes this babe a babe, however, is that these elements do not - constantly! - supplement the songwriting: the first track is a damn banger, "Whippoorwill" is beautiful, and the Appalachian folk track, "House Carpenter", shows the band ain't only about female vocals and violins. Fortunately: the tracks that mostly revolve around "classic" doomsludgestoner do struggle to be properly significant despite their enjoyability.
