With that said, though, the songs comprising this album might best be described as progressive soul. These are not the typical love odes one usually associates with classic Soul Train R&B music. Iuliano may sing with a soulful falsetto, but a track titled "The Hidden Root" also features a mystically cool, repeated guitar part. And this makes the tune especially progressive.

Another track titled "Who Knows," lays on the vocal experimentation thick. It's the sort of song you might expect to hear from a vocal jazz explorer like Bobby McFerrin, but - of course - it also features a full instrumental arrangement. "Comfortable Lies" is the closest thing this album has to a conventional pop song. It has a 60s rock feel, which is appealing.
