Critical reception

In October 2008, David Bevan of Pitchfork gave the album a 6.9/10. With oral influence from bands Sonic Youth, Fleetwood Mac, and Afghan Whigs, Bevan reports that "...while just as thorny and gnarled in parts...its calms are ultimately more haunting and compelling than its many storms."[2]
