The album features mostly freak folk songs, alongside experimental drone compositions.
Upon the album's release, Pitchforks' Cory D. Byrom gave it a mostly negative review, writing: "Dwyer's work here is a mess. He relies too heavily on the freak half of freak folk, burying the songs in grating arrangements and murky production."[1]
