... direction, with its swingin’ bassline and smoldering vocals. In this track Vallie brings to mind Chan Marshall with the uneasy sense of forbidding that she is able to affect (I just hope that Vallie’s music doesn’t draw from the misery in her life the way Marshall’s used to). The album’s title-track brings a little freak folk to the mix with a sawing violin, ukulele, and tambourine....
