    A sea change for Toth with its altered origin and minimalist compositions, Clipper Ship is an opus of restraint. Without a doubt a Wooden Wand album, its players are given the freedom to explore; Toth’s innate gift of melody remains, as does is his understanding of the human condition.

    Clipper Ship feels like a standalone statement, one of powerful simplicity and masterful control. In stripping away almost everything, Toth's songs reveal cores of sometimes blinding beauty and unsettling honesty.

    Toth's spare lines still keep you listening and wondering, reeling you in to music that starts out gently lyrical and ends up as immersive as the sea. [No. 142, p.61]

    For the first time, Toth wrote the melodies before the lyrics, the result is a set of lush, free-born soundscapes, yet without any diminution in his narrative powers. [Jul 2017, p.40]
