Production

The album was produced by Garth Futcher, and was recorded in a Vancouver-area wooden shack. The last verse of "The Littlest Birds" references Syd Barrett's song "Jugband Blues", from the Pink Floyd album A Saucerful of Secrets.

Critical reception

Exclaim! deemed the album "spooky, drowsy gothic folk performed by three western women with voices like junkie angels."[4] The Independent wrote: "A low-key album made on an impossibly low budget, Blue Horse is one of the most beguiling debuts to be heard this year."[5]
