Beyond the pale of some barren remainder of some barren container that we used to hold aloft/ There is no spring left in this heavy footstep/ Ten blocks of pacing back and forth/ These places remind you of a memory you remembered twice before/ And all along in the awning where your thoughts have lingered on/ Trying to call you, trying to carry on/ Heaven/ I would remember/ A fleeting sheet in time/ A symbol of a sign/ At home/ And darkness breeds alone/ It trembles with desire/ But in the blackest pit, there was a shovel for me/ Hold tight/ And all along in the awning where your hearts have emptied on/ Trying to reach you/ And all along inside the yawning of those tired hearts your mouth has lingered on, over and over/ And did you notice when it's over when it starts/ I can't warn you of a coming falling star, falling hard/ And darkness breeds alone/ Tremble with desire/ In the blackest pit, there was a shovel for me/ Hold tight

Brenna has been one of the greatest voices in Alberta for a long time, but this album is unbelievable. Possibly the best use of acoustic guitar and vocals since Pink Moon. Listen and find out. Jom Comyn
This is an absolute ripper, a new masterpiece for a band that has already put out so much great stuff in a short period. If there is a "Calgary sound", this is a mountain peak of that. Jom Comyn
In addition to great work with other bands, Matthew's ambient/drone stuff is what dreams are made of. Track 3 of this album, "Listen", features a sample of my very own "Being in Love". Mega honoured. Jom Comyn
The second solo release from Chastity Belt guitarist Julia Shapiro explores warping identities with heavy, fuzzed out sounds. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 16, 2021
