Percussion is entirely absent, allowing Elizabeth Fraser to float wordless vocals over the shimmering guitar work of Robin Guthrie. This approach creates a unique, dreamlike sequence of music.

Issued during a prolific period on 4AD, the record adopts the label's atmospheric style of the mid-eighties. Heavy use of delay and reverb generates a sense of cold, vast space that corresponds to the winter-themed track titles.
