The title "A Mixture of Frailties" is taken from the Robertson Davies novel by the same name. "Kwe (Changing Into Thunderbird)" is in reference to a series of six paintings by Norval Morrisseau called "Man Changing into Thunderbird (1977)". The song "The Burnt Lands" was inspired by a Bruce Munro novel by the same name. The line "Trample grass blades at night" is a reference to a poem by Wislawa Szymborska "Among the Multitudes". Sample of "Drum Song" by The Smoke Trail Singers used with permission. All songs SOCAN 2017.
