Simple, sparse instrumentation and whispered, intimate vocals tell stories of absent lovers and grey evenings. Produced and recorded by band member Richard Formby (Spacemen 3, Sonic Boom), the album has a distinctly analog feel, with idly strummed acoustic guitar intertwining with soaring lap steel, a simple trap kit, and some of the gentlest bass playing on record. "This is not irritating, maudlin, lo-fi nonsense. Dakota Suite are a much rarer, much more truly damaged bird. First, through the fence, and then nowup the hill. Dakota Suite are almost there. Why not follow them?" (NME. 8/10)
