Comment: this 5-piece album is built on broad vocal magnitudes and accentuated singing and atmospheric folk/indie instrumentation which frequently are accentuated with fabulous brass forays and lush ascensions and crescendos therefore sounding truly like a fairy tale. By the lyrics it contains of lots of references toward nature and its objects which might be interpreted as a hint at the escapism. Ken Harman & Co`s outlet reminds of  the oeuvres of Grizzly Bear, Foxes In Fiction, Coma Cinema, and Dirty Projectors, for instance.
