Uncut (p. 108) gave 4 stars out of 5 and said: "Using acoustic guitar, piano and vocals, he delivers 14 sweetly somber neo-folk tunes that reveal just how subtly persuasive the man's influence really is."

PLAYLIST TIME:

Emoh

by: Lou Barlow

Not yet
no heart or flower
nothing speaks to me
I am your indolent soldier
no authority have I
Daydreaming
fetal feeling
on the void again
I am close
getting closer
closer to the end
Oh my lover
morning's after me
no more running
face the dawn and turn your back on me
Blue eyed lizard
I am ordened to withdraw
stripped mined
my own mind
a needle needle crawl
And replace
abandon a love that couldn't give no more
is it wrong
to belong for a world that I've never seen before
Oh my lover
morning's after me
no more running
face the dawn and turn your back on me
Crack in the branches
hung from a familytree
Oh
Morning's after me
the other side
the boy the soldier be
into the light
into the void
I am free
another life
morning after me
Crack in the branches
hung from a family tree
crack in the branches
hung from a familytree
