“It could be reasonably said that everybody should be happy. But happy is a word that has become wobbly from overuse or as shorthand when someone asks how you are, with the generally offered answer being “fine.” A more apt measure may be whether one is finding their life full and present. Anne Richmond Boston’s voice skirts the edge of sadness, heartbreak, and longing. She does so without succumbing to darkness. She celebrates the beauty found everywhere, in the melancholy clouds as well as the slivered rays of sunlight. Her singing embraces the warm glow that can be found inside of hurt. This is an album about life—not wide and broadcasting across an ocean, but the human-scaled, person-to-person connections that make us know we’re not alone.”

“Tenderness runs underneath it all, perhaps most evident in the spare moments, where piano or acoustic textures give her voice room to hover. It’s here that time becomes the album’s greatest collaborator. What once might have been a promising follow-up to 1990’s The Big House of Time now plays like an album that stands apart—a document of endurance and resolve.”
