This is the third album from Jason Robert Quever (Beach House, Vetiver). This is a quiet album of cosmic lyrics sung with reverb-tinged vocals over vintage organs, big percussion, and lush string arrangements. The entire thing has a melancholy feel the grew on me with each listen. Incidentally, it was recorded entirely analog. There is no computer processing here at all. Give it a try when you are feeling quiet. It might suit your mood. Reviewed by Rebecca Ruth.
