"The basis of tarot is the idea of finding meaning in the arcane, interpreting something that is obscure in order to make something clear. Those shifting borders between clarity and obscurity are present everywhere in Burd Ellen's music. Six of the seven tracks are traditional, but they are tweaked and lightly jostled into uncanny hinterlands by means of Armour's high, eldritch singing, Brogan's unexpected musical interventions and that characteristic drone. The judicious use of double-tracked vocals lends a fleeting, spooked echo to a tiny snippet of opener The Fool, a song well-known in trad circles as Over The Hills And Far Away ... It is a suitably bewitching, disconcerting and often profoundly moving experience from the most innovative duo in folk music".
