This is an amazing album that really lives up to the promise of its title. This song, in particular, evokes a lost, ancient time full of mystery and darkness. It's about the hunting and subsequent eating of the king of the birds, the wren. The stark, heaviness of the instrumentation combined with Ms. Tannen's wonderful delivery really evokes a deep, strange, intoxicating magic.
