“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.

“Kicks off differently than previous WRF releases, more upbeat & jazzy, and really caught my headphones off guard (in a good way).

A 'letdown' this record most definitely is not.”
