“...sometimes it can seem as subtle as the light moving across the room...as the day shifts. But there’s so much happening, within that...there’s so much detail in it, but there’s also this overwhelming feeling of calm and comfort...this is a soul reassuring album.” - Nate Chinen, NPR All Songs Considered
