An album that draws in your attention without demanding it, Stringer Barksdale's first full length is impressive. Sometimes dark and mysterious, and at other times uplifting, it is a strength and a weakness. Inconsistency brings the album down at times, sometimes loosing its sense of direction. However, this also shows a fun side to the album, never knowing what to expect at times. Overall, an atmospheric debut that outshines its flaws.
