Apr 18, 2019Mournful acoustic strumming, slide guitar, hushed percussion, strung-out woozy piano – there’s consistency and clarity to ‘Curve Of Earth’; perhaps more than you’d expect of a record 15 years in the making. What this album does, though, is contain the chaos of addiction, crystallising mistakes into something much more beautiful. The result is extraordinary and life-affirming.

Apr 18, 2019Curve of Earth is sparse, but the trio make up for it with their relatable and confessional take on what their idea of a vast Americana is and how to simply survive within it.

Apr 18, 2019Curve of Earth is not an easy listen, but the musicality keeps it from being a straight downer of a record. The songs here are uniformly well written and interesting even as the exorcism of addiction demons is at times oppressive.

Apr 18, 2019While the subject matter may sound heavy, hard-earned lyrics are delivered throughout the album with a relaxed, affable tone befitting the group's twangy, sauntering indie rock.
