Production

Critical reception

[edit]

Indy Week wrote that the band's "cloudy, creamy, country-tinged dreampop—with violin by ... Margaret White, a strong female vocal presence, and a drummer toying with a sampler—stood out from the masculine rock energy that still pervaded Chapel Hill."[6] The Morning Star wrote that the Comas' "songs are awash in beautiful, hazy melodies, layers of guitar, keyboard fills and the sly, thin vocals of frontman Andy Herod."[5] PopMatters thought that it "hinted at greatness, even if it didn't always deliver."[7]
