Critical reception

In the Asbury Park Press, Alex Biese wrote, "The album, recorded at the Jam Room Music Complex in Howell, is a lush, 10-track survey of the jammier side of American music, from the adventurous anthem "Wookie Kids" to the lush and tender ballad "Wondering" and the country-rock shimmer of "Emma Lynn". Half the album has the distinct, shining presence of Penque's New Riders bandmate Buddy Cage on pedal steel guitar."[1]

gollark: Seems to work well, except that early adopters or people with good GPUs have all the krist.
gollark: Switchcraft (CC/OC-only server) uses a not-really-cryptocurrency (basically just proof of work and addresses, it's centralized and doesn't use many of the same concepts).
gollark: IC2 does, yes, I forgot.
gollark: You can burn them for power, that's all.
gollark: We could do it with CC, or *possibly* some AE2 magic.
