The album is an instrumental, quite lush pleasing and evocative, belaying a heartfelt musical experience to walk hand in hand with Wlautin’s strong but down and out characters, characters who know they’ve gotta get back up on their feet again, but for now, seem perplexed enough to be grateful they’re simply hanging on. Fontaine recognizes this, laying down a series of songs that come across as equally tapped out weary and abandoned, as if in middle age, after reading this book, Fontaine has been able to reach into his very soul and recognize many of these aspects within himself, laying it out with cinematic blissful twanging guitars, a pedal steel, along with light handed drumming, songs that come across as deep rooted musical vignettes about growing older and asking more pointed questions, because the answers suddenly seem to matter all the more.
