Release Date: October 15th, 2008Whimsical and fantastical appropriations of the alien grammar of medieval lore. The bulk of the songs originate from a very fruitful period of multitrack exploration, in which the dainty counterpoint and plodding polyphony of dark ages Europe finds a new home in the American experimental pop style. Her sensitivity to archaic modes and quartal harmony keeps the music from straying into renaissance-fair kitsch, and gives the lyrics mystery and depth.
