General comments:
This is a one-off (so far) project.i like Julie Doiron and the wooden stars a lot, but since she's working with another band, it's a bit more "rock" (although not rawk or anything). she used to be in an extremely different band called eric's trip in the early '90s. (dmw@mwmw.com)

Comments:
Julie Doiron did the initial songwriting, the the songs were then re-worked with the band, which means that Julie Doiron's sound and style dominates overall. So it's stripped-down indie music, rather mournful. or alternatively, beautiful, spare, and haunting according to your tastes. (sophiagurley@hotmail.com)
