...even given the album’s often trite enviro-spiritual themes and archaic aesthetic, Enya comparisons would be both unflattering and unfair. Unlike the infamous neo-pagan Yoga soundtrack artist-cum-New Age diva, there is nary a hint of affectation in Todd’s idiosyncratic alto...
...name-that-indie-act. Stop me when you know who I’m talking about: They’re a Brooklyn-based duo, recording fuzzy, repetitive psych-folk that sounds like it’s made to be sung and strummed by a slightly stoned campfire. Need a hint? The band is named after a large, hibernatory forest dweller.

In Collapse, he's a little like the title character in Dr. Seuss's The Lorax: he perches on the smoking ruins of extinct societies and calmly explains how they fell--and why, in almost every case, they never even saw it coming...
