"Tara Jane O'Neil has been an "underground" musical force in Louisville and New York city for years. I've been a fan of her and her friend's bands for a long time now: Retsin, Rodan, and five or six other bands that everyone has dispersed to (Shipping News, etc). Now, on her own, and with the help of people that she feels are close to her, she's produced this GENIUS album. It's really very hard to describe, but to make a long story short, it's very intelligent, very beautiful, and sounds like what someone who's both totally tripped out and totally in-touch would record if she locked herself up in her apartment. Which in fact she did... Comparisons would be really stupid here; her music is too internal to cite other musicians."
If Phish, Beth Orton & Lucinda Williams mated it'd be this

"In another category, simply spellbinding. Understated in all its complexities and movements it is destined to be an underground classic."

"There is a dark beauty running throughout this CD. Tara Jane has a talent that one only sees once a decade or so. Every song is lovely and simple yet complex. The hooks in this album are some of the best yet invented. One would assume Tara Jane has had to sell her soul to the devil for this record to come out so magnificent. It's hard to compare this Indie masterpiece to other artists but I would like to throw out Dinosaur Jr.'s "You're Living All Over Me" to compare it's originality and it's stark beauty to above said album. Plus every songs a gem. So pass the bottle and let's play it again!"

"I got this record six years ago while I was working as a music journalist. I gave it a favorable review, though I wasn't exactly sure why. It is odd, beautifully odd. It was a hard review to write, simply because I couldn't find the words to touch what it is that this record does. But let me say this: There is probably no other record I own that refuses to grow old like this one. It is still in my changer, is a permanent fixture on my iPod. Get this. It will creep up on you. It glows."
