"Urban folk songs for the disenchanted and the enchantable. Major Matt Mason and his guitar
form a bond, and this is shared with everyone who listens." "...witty social observation,
hangdog stare and no-frills production that sounds like gas bubbling from leaky pipes."
"Pantsuit is a plucky, all-girl antifolk trio headed by Nan Turner of Schwervon! [...] jangly, ecstatic
songs that are as clever as they are whimsical."
