The songs contained here on Rest are logical successors to the psych-folk-stylings of The Dreadful Yawns, but at the same time represent a significant aesthetic departure. Gone are the extended atmospherics and aural experimentations which pervaded the previous recording, replaced instead with lush orchestrations, beautiful lap-steel, finger-picked guitars, and richly layered vocal melodies. Rest finds the band pushing the country-influenced-rock style exemplified by artists like Gram Parsons to its conceivable limits and creating a beautiful, timeless, and essential document of the genre in the process.
