Loss is the theme of the album. People deal with loss very differently. Some retreat within, and carry the pain without the outside world knowing it. Others wear it like paint on the face. The poignant and emotionally tolling music reflect both of these ways, and more. At times it is so beautiful, I want to swallow it all, although that thread of loss that runs through is deeply burdensome, and other times, it forces me into thought. They would do well with a dedicated vocalist, but this is an album that you will want to hear.
