    "She can rock, out-sing anyone, get weird on the Hammond, and just absolutely sexy as hell. Attitude, looks, kindness. Total package. These days, she’s still nuts, but more reserved.

    This album was just an absolute banger. It took the band to an experimental rock form rather than a singer-songwriter more root sound. Grace has two wonderful albums before this (and a lost Americana album just released this year from the third album’s sessions). And I liked those a lot, but this album had balls. They really took their live sound and pushed it to its limits recording this. We also have Dan from the Black Keys producing the album, which probably inspired some of that raw experimental energy.

    We have a lot of love songs, and a lot of songs of finding direction, fighting on through tough times. Every one sounding authentic with Grace’s delivery. One hell of a performance.

    I got to see them on this tour. I met her husband, Matt, and he got her to sign a $5 AUD bill for me (It looks like a scribble, but that’s how her signature is)" - Nick
