This is music for contemplation, suggestive of a quieter activism that is more pavement café than a call to the barricades

Beats Per Minute
The Occupiers might’ve taught me that there’s an undeniable power in volume, but Sadier has reminded me on this aptly-titled album that even the smallest voices can be incredibly impactful
