"With such a healthy reputation and fan-base, Dan Mangan's new record is all about subverting what people have come to expect from him. Searching his own concerns while exploring the depths of his sonic possibilities, Mangan really makes you think in his music. Though it occasionally breaks away from melodic writing, this is one Mangan record you won't forget".

"While the Vancouver singer-songwriter's fifth album might be seen as a return to his roots in some ways, what it really does is borrow from his past and give it a whole new perspective - one that's shaped by age and circumstance, but mostly by an eagerness to love deeply, act kindly and ask meaningful questions about what it is to live ... These songs are often so spare, so spacious, that you're left to absorb Mangan's every word and fill in the empty space with your own thoughts: Am I who I want to be? Am I doing the right things? Is everything going to be alright? Are we all fucked?".
