Bassist Paul Crider delivers some incredibly deft playing, never content just to follow the others, and drummer D Lavon's jazzy style makes for the perfect rhythmic counterpart. This leaves Sheena Colbath, who handles keys and delivers the angelic lead vocals that fit in so perfectly with the music. Fortunately, the band doesn't let their skills get the better of them, allowing their talents to come together in just the right combination to produce some truly gorgeous music. Fans of the 4AD scene and ethereal rock in general will find a fresh new band to love with Numeralia. These folky-tinged ballads featuring the crystal clear vocals of Sheena Colbath are a purist's delight.
