The setup is as follows: a light sensitive theremin is turned on in a darkened room. Various beams of light (a red laser, a white flashlight and a blue LED) are aimed across a glass cylinder at the light sensitive cell of the theremin. Garden snails are placed at the bottom of the glass cylinder. As the snails crawl across the surface of the glass they interrupt the path of the light, and alter the pitch of the theremin.

The great underlying instrumentation paired with Florence's droll stream of consciousness lyrics make this album stand out. It feels so personal and confessional. Favorite tracks are Strong Feelings and Leafy. I've heard Scratchard Lanyard on alt radio and love that one as well. tofupotpie
