"Debut solo release from Charles Burst, formerly of the much-loved Brooklyn band the Occasion. For all of that group's psychedelic exploration, they always had a knack for hovering around the more sun-burnt and desert wind-swept margins of Americana, and as Burst steps out front on his own we find him bringing that whole area of interest way more into focus, combined with a much tighter song writing effort than his previous associates ever evinced. There's a real satisfyingly forlorn country vibe throughout the album, but he also somehow manages to evoke a bit of the sound and desolation of John Lennon's first solo LP. It's a great and rich combination, and a compelling exploration of some of the more dusty margins of American music."

"Charles Burst drummed and sang in the (much missed) Occasion, but those in the know had more than an inkling that Burst is a songwriter at heart. He now sits at a piano, when he isn't playing guitar that is, and if his clear-sky melodies don't immediately resemble The Occasion's dramatic psych-pop, they have a similar way of rolling out and spreading over you."
