I can't guarantee that you will like this album the first time you listen to it. If your experience is similar to mine, it will take multiple listens over a period of time for the album to fully burrow itself into your subconscious. Be patient with this one, in other words. It's worth it.
As far as what to expect, it's sort of a psychadelic folk album--the actual genre it's commonly labeled under is "freak folk," but yeah. The variety on this album is actually quite outstanding, ranging from minimalist tracks consisting of mostly plucked guitars or banjos to more "normal" tracks all the way to full out electric-guitar-wall-of-sound drone. As for the vocals, they will probably take some getting used to, but this reviewer feels that they complement the music perfectly. There's also slightly medieval feel to this album at some points, and overall I have yet to hear anything quite like it.
Where are my friends and where do they live?
