Nina Nastasia's new FatCat Records release is a slow, polished collection of delicately boring arrangements that are quite difficult to pay attention to. There is not much here to sink your teeth into besides the ever-present elegance of her every note. These quiet incantations are truly beautiful though indistinguishable, making for a lovely record to fall asleep or read to. Aside from the noteworthy title track, a handsome and haunting dirge, the album begins to feel like an Aldous Huxley dystopia. Strongly recommended for fans of an Aldous Huxley dystopia.
