Durrett began recording in the mid-1990s while at high school and later at the University of Georgia at Athens, initially with her uncle Vic Chesnutt producing.
[2][3] Pitchfork writer Ryan Dombal described it "Think Partridge Family but uglier, death-obsessed, and with a sunburnt, junkyard car in place of the fruity schoolbus".
[1] The album has received positive reviews, with Allmusic awarding it three and a half stars, reviewer Mark Deming describing it as "quite impressive",[7] and Pitchfork scoring it at 7.2, with Stephen M. Deusner calling it "Durrett's liveliest and rangiest record to date, as purposeful as her previous efforts but somehow more surefooted and traipsing".
[8] Durrett has toured throughout the United States and Europe and has made several guest appearances on other artist's records.
[9] The Riverfront Times described her music as "full of emotionally distraught tunes that take full advantage of her aching voice", calling her vocals "like Lucinda Williams on the worst Quaalude bender imaginable".
