Praise/condemnation:
“Trans/Sahm country for drifters on mushrooms needing a lift out of town. Imagine the Chill Out in full size pickup truck or a version of ‘Program’ by Silver Apples tuning into spaced out pedal steel, psychedelic rock and acid folk.” – John Whitson, Holy Mountain Records
“the best Portland album of 2017” -Scott Derr, Turn! Turn! Turn!, Black Jack Records
