With more riff-rock bone exposed than on 2005's The City, this fourth disc from Junkshop main men (and Little Italy neighbours) Dave MacKinnon and Brian Poirier (an arrangement that's now over a decade in the doing) has head Hylozoist (and fellow engineer) Paul Aucoin arranging horns as on their last, tracking smart vibraphone parts ("The Ballad Of Lucybelle Crater"'s ear-tickling tinkles, "Ship Breaking"'s morse-code crescendo-cueing lullaby paydirt) that, along with Iner Souster's junkstruments and Nathan Lawr's ever-tasteful percussion, complement FemBots' detailed production work.
