Beautiful. Some lovely textures here, love the up-close-and-personal production. Perfect winter music- has a wonderful warmth to it.

"The Borrowed Lives" is my personal favorite- the way you stretch out those cascading guitar lines with reverb is very, very satisfying. Complements the subject matter perfectly. Overall, there's just a nice interplay between style and substance throughout the songs.

Congratulations!

Many thanks, ghostoffuffle! I love that you have identified it as winter music! I think I know exactly what you mean! Funny that warmth evokes the cold too, though I think there may be both warm and cold elements to the sound/images. That winter quality is something I really hoped would come through, so I'm really glad to hear it.

Another vote for the Borrowed Lives! Excellent! As I mentioned to mk below, I had misgivings about that one, maybe just because I've lived with it for so long. The guitar lines you mention -- cascading is a really nice way to put it -- and N's vocals were enough to convince me it was ready to fly. Glad to hear your feelings on that, and thanks much for the kind words!
