Experimental

Anderson...steadily plucks an electric, her patient melodies curling from thick strings with full body. But it’s her sense of time—contracting, expanding, quickening, slowing—that feels revelatory here, as if she exists at a flexible nexus of the past, present, and future. When she massages together the standards "The House Carpenter" and "See That My Grave Is Kept Clean" into a song that feels like her own, you realize maybe she does. - Pitchfork/The OutDoor Anderson plays mostly electric, drawing from gospel, folk and blues sources to create an absorbing, thrilling atmosphere. - Aquarium Drunkard Her playing is fluid and meandering, notes dropping out of her guitar like melted silver. It's all shiny and glistening with a warm fuzz from her guitar amp. Her deep knowledge about America's musical history allow her to reinterpret and rearrange known tunes to something completely new, unheard and still familiar. - Dying For Bad Music
