Recorded in 2005 with longtime collaborator Thomas Bartlett (Mumford and Sons, Sufjan Stevens, The National, David Byrne), Vermont-born Amidon re-imagines traditional songs alongside covers as diverse as Mississippi John Hurt to Tears For Fears, and rearranges them into his own unique and mesmerizing compositions.

Don't make the mistake of missing it again. CD - With 10 bonus tracks.LP - First appearance on LP. LP pressed on translucent blue colored vinyl with download card featuring bonus tracks.
