I've heard a hundred sorry midnight's score/ That electric hum, the loner's lullaby/ To kiss another gunshy infant morn/ To drink another bloodshot evening dry/ All those rambling pebbles scatter round before you/ As you're rolling down the road that empties home/ When no one in the street left to ignore you/ In quiet dreams is what it means to be alone/ In callous weather's unresponding eye/ With irises that search forever torn/ To listen for the heartbeat passing by/ That electric hum, the loner's midnight score/ All those rambling pebbles slowing down behind you/ As you're slowing to the road you call your home/ When there's no one in the distance left to mind you/ In quiet dreams is what it means to be alone

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
