Reception

edit

The single "Everyone You Ever Knew (Is Coming Back to Haunt You)" received limited independent radio airplay and the album received limited coverage but positive critical reception.

Global Texan Chronicles described it as "shadowy and palpable Lou Reed-esque honky tonk realism with so much rare and raw individuality that it takes you aback at first listen. Then your eager addiction slowly burns inside until you’ve played the album on repeat countless times and you’re lost... a true storyteller".[4]

Pan Magazine called it 'A sultry and inviting album ... mesmerising and softly melancholy'[5]

Post To Wire said 'it sounds like the Velvet Underground jamming with Mazzy Star in a Nashville honky tonk after closing time'.[6]

Notes

edit

The album includes a song about German jazz pianist and Blue Note artist Jutta Hipp.[4]

Aden Young directed, shot and edited the "Bollywood meets Southern Gothic" video for the title track while on location in Georgia shooting Sundance TV series Rectify.[5]
