“L'Orange's sampled vaudeville and Solemn Brigham's jettisoning lyrics make for an ambitious and striking album. Each track is unique, yet come together into the story of the whole. It's both comedic and thought provoking, and every verse feels like a brushstroke filling in an artist's magnum opus.”
“Kicks off differently than previous WRF releases, more upbeat & jazzy, and really caught my headphones off guard (in a good way). Amazing front-to-back listen as always, but really dug the unexpected smokey jazz club vibes which *spoiler alert* eventually transform into something dark & haunted. A 'letdown' this record most definitely is not.”
