Comments:

It's an album of likeable and spacey songs by a talented singer. Amy B steers the songs away from clichés and gets a languid feeling to them. "Bruises" is slightly like Morcheeba when they were good. "Suede Pumas" is a relaxed song that shows off the singer's voice well. "Nature Walk" is darker and has a pop heart beneath its heavy beats.
     It's an atmospheric and airy and pleasant album. (stjarnell@yahoo.com)
