Excerpt: "The Brief Encounter has piano, hammered dulcimer, and fiddle. I believe  there are also some electronically processed sounds, but if so, that is  done with great subtlety. The song tells the story of a man who has an  encounter with a ghost, and the song itself floats along, wrapped in  beauty. The arrangement has hardly any low end, so the sense of floating  described in the lyric is perfectly stated musically. But the ghost  wants to show the narrator something, and suddenly the music becomes  briefly dissonant. The moment is gently jarring, and the narrator floats  back to himself, somewhat shaken. It’s subtle but powerful, and that  could also describe the rest of the music on this album. Liam Singer  presents a mix of vocal and instrumental songs here. The textures vary  just enough to make the album as a whole a wonderful listen. The album  was produced by Scott Solter, and the female vocalist is Wendy Allen;  both are from the group Boxharp. It looks like I need to know more about  them as well."
