This album made me cry. All of Oidupaa's stuff makes me teary. The songs were recorded when he was very old. His voice sounds very strained unlike in his first album Divine Songs from a Jail. The accordion in this album adds so much to this album though. In all of the songs you can hear every single sound that comes out of the accordion. Especially the squeaking of the keys. I don't know if this i... » Continue Reading

Their first album, Pictures of Starving Children (... » Continue Reading

Annie Haslam sounds beautiful in this album and really fits with the overall theme of this album. If you like YS by Joanna Newsom you should check this album out. It just 4 songs long but its 45 minutes long... (The last song is 24 minutes (... » Continue Reading
