    Really impressive collaborative effort . "Voice in headphones " revises a fantastic chorus from björk's "Undo"

    The result is a collection of songs so taut and concisely resonant as to be psalms.

    Lost Wisdom is not a long album--clocking in at just under 25 minutes--nor is it especially elaborate. Most of the songs rely on voice and guitar alone to make their case. And yet, how splendid they are, layered and looped in madrigals rounds and descants ('Voice in Headphones') or nakedly unadorned ('Flaming Home').

    Squire helps to mount these stories and it’s this that makes Lost Wisdom last.
