"The music is played with laidback precision, immaculately arranged and produced with a consistently warm vibe. The components employ the signifiers of country - banjo, pedal steel, heartache, the landscape itself - without falling into the tired tropes of country, just as the electric guitars, drums, bass and loping rhythms avoid the posturing of rock. Full marks to multi-instrumentalist Phillips, his drummer Jerry Roe and bassist Lex Price".
