Starting with her 2011 album Little Red Boots through her 2018 conceptualized album Liberty, Lindi was one of the premier women in underground/independent country music, and a Gothic country queen. Through the new album, Ortega traces American music’s Gothic influences back to the very beginning of recorded music, along with presenting occasional flourishes of more modern sounds in and effort to immerse the listener in a seasonal mood for channeling spirits and calling forth ancestors. Unlike Ortega’s earlier albums that all included darker themes and sounds, but still a leaven of country sensibility, this is definitely a seasonal release that is really specialized for those who like the dark and nebulous side of music.
