The songs here that don't focus on motherhood are solidly concerned with endings and good-byes. "Me and My Friend" is two steps away from Hemingway-style bareness, likewise the catchy "No More." "The Wrong City" is a most affecting track, and "Untitled," a last-minute, last-track addition to the record, is heartbreaking. Doiron manages to be as painfully honest as songwriting icons like Johnny Cash and Hank Williams, though her lyrical candor is coupled with a fragile voice and plunky guitar that many find sleep-inducing or just uncomfortable.
