The track "Song to the Siren", originally written by Tim Buckley, is sung by Elizabeth Fraser of the Cocteau Twins; it was released as a single and brought this particular album to prominence. The music is considered Goth, as the songs have been described as haunting and harrowing yet ultimately uplifting and even timeless.
