Mar 8, 2012The strongest album of their career thus far.
-
Mar 12, 2012The Clearing demonstrates an increase in the trio's breadth and scope, similar to Iron and Wine's The Shepherd's Dog, but minus the studio wonkery.
-
MojoMar 22, 2012Bowerbirds at their least bucolic, both expanding and focusing on a sound that is as timeless as The Band. [Apr 2012, p. 89]
-

-
Apr 12, 2012The Clearing is nothing if not the sound of a band discovering a new home, musically, emotionally, and physically. The sound is far bigger than either of the previous fingerpicking-heavy records.
