Stripped down vocal-and-guitar readings, with Foster's voice flitting in freak-folk sparrow mode from word to word, savoring each morsel. Throughout, her unconventional style retains a sense of outsider-dom, chasing away the idea of authenticity as a template to fit into with the more convincing plea of authenticity as originality. She doesn't find the truth of the songs, for there is no truth to find. Instead, as each number is revived and caressed back into consciousness, we witness the discovery of new truths.
