The strength of this
music is tough to describe. There is so much depth to this, if there was a royal rumble of contemporary music,
this group would be tossing out contenders left and right. James Christopher Monger from AllMusic describes the album as equal parts Sinead
O'Connor, Kate Bush and Fiona Apple. I'd like to think of Janis Joplin being less
bluesy and more folk and I think you'd nail Florence Welch on the head.
Kiss with a Fist and Dog Days are Over are probably the best tracks. Kiss with a Fist reminds me of songs like O Bondage Up Yours by X-Ray Speks, and Wave a White Flag by Elvis Costello.
