A common theme picked up on by reviewers after the album's release is that of the pastoral and organic. The use of surreal lyrics ("I'll look for a man to turn me into a hare" on the song "Woodcat", for example) led to comparisons to The Wicker Man and Brothers Grimm [3] [4] . The album, much like its 2005 predecessor Mother's Daughter and Other Songs, has noticeable electronica influences leading many to bracket the album, and by extension Tunng, into the folktronica movement.

A limited edition version of the album was also released which contained two extra tracks: "Band Stand" and "Bodies".
