3 stars Folk music from Canada, but not like most other bands I have heard.

Their sound is a bit weird, to start with. Simon & Garfunkel gone on a tour to the planet Jupiter is what springs to mind. The sound is also pretty dark and spaced out. Space Folk Rock ? That is probably the best label. The sound feels is firmly rooted in the folk rock culture in the 1970s. The music is also pretty sparsely instrumented. Flute, guitar, hand drums, vocals, bass and some drums is all there is.

Quality wise, this is a good album and even a true gem if you are a folk rock connoisseur. But the lack of any really great songs is really hurting this album. But the sound is special and time flies with this album on the speakers. This album is in my view a special folk rock album and nothing more. Nuff said.

3 stars
