"On the face of things, Argonauta sounds as if it's promising mythological escapism. Instead, Texan-born, Massachusetts-based musician Aisha Burns' second solo album is rooted in the tragic, magical details of the every day. An argonauta is, it turns out, a type of octopus; a species that uses a fragile kind of egg shell as a buoyancy aid for its young, before the mothers float away on the tides. It's a fitting analogy for this painful, understated folk album, shadowed with the sadness of Burns grieving a parent".
