Transcription
Production
The album was produced by Peter Collins.[8] It was recorded at Long View Farm, in North Brookfield, Massachusetts.[5] Greg Hawkes played keyboards on "Anchor".[9]
Critical reception
Trouser Press called the album "effective and likable," writing that "Hanley explores the titular theme of dispatching an ex, singing her disillusioned and bitter lyrics ... with conviction and power against loud rock-pop that reaches its apogee in the nearly Breeders-like surge of 'Anchor'."[10] The Orange County Register considered it "nothing special, each song an imitation of standard alternative music this decade without adding anything new to the mix."[11]
