About Hoodwinked:

"‘Hoodwinked’ is a feisty, evocative word, with a whiff of mischief about it. The term serves as a wake up call, at once goofy protest (we've been had!) and quiet warning to stay engaged every waking minute. Ultimately, the lyrics in Hoodwinked read as odes to mortality—they marvel nonstop, unsentimentally, and with necessary ambivalence, at the world as given and the human inability to consistently rise to the exhausting challenge of making every second count. They acknowledge that "all flesh is grass"; and they make us hear the wondrous, terrifying hum of impending obliteration, while at the same time never growing immune to beauty, never ceasing to be curious about what the grass itself makes of our common temporal conundrum.—Rosellen Brown
