The result is a compilation that resonates with a folkish noir charm. Opening the quaint EP is <em>Snow Pt. 3;<\/em> a guitar-infused acoustic cut that calls to mind cold winter mornings. Followed by <em>Ghosts<\/em>; this second track is more upbeat and uses a wide variety of instruments from violins, vocal harmonies and even minor handclaps. There&#8217;s such a lush wall of sound coming from this simple track that it&#8217;s hard not to admire it. Perhaps the best part is that it&#8217;s quite a catchy single.<\/p>\n<p><em>Brave, <\/em>meanwhile,\u00a0sees the singer collaborate with a female vocalist whose enchanting voice adds a layer of depth and additional sweetness to the number. Finally, the EP is capped with the title track, <em>Ships of Sticks and Twine.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s easy to attribute the adjectives, beautiful and endearing to the record however, it&#8217;s more than that. It contains a special bit of rawness in its little folds which turn it from a passing listen into a possible constant companion for the quiet moments in your life.
