On the Seeds LP:

"...sweet, breathy numbers that tiptoe between joy and sadness, like the beautiful 'Old Crow', a languid waltz straight from the songbooks of Red House Painters or Mazzy Star..."

"...'Seeds', a gentle ballad anticipating a time when, all home comforts gone, we'll have to live closer to the soil and each other. Meandering and wistful, the apocalypse never sounded so sweet."
