"Transforming a painful narrative into songs full of angst, woe and beauty is a craft that Hinson has mastered. Where the album sways towards a mirage of broken vocals and frantic surges, it's quickly juxtaposed by soft and vulnerable contributions, perfectly reflecting the huge range of emotions he would have experienced during his ordeal. Finishing with a bonus, secret track that sees Hinson harmonising with himself through layers of vocal tracks, it's a fitting metaphor to a man full of mystery".

"Texan Micah P Hinson continues to summon beautiful music out of bitter experience. His 2004 debut was informed by a past of prescription drug addiction and homelessness; his latest was recorded with friends after a car crash left him at risk of losing the use of his arms. He faces adversity with his usual level gaze and bone-dry wit, but these songs - demoed before his accident but refashioned after it - also thrum with a palpable joy at music-making".
