Sep 23, 2019Startlingly original and yet somehow a nostalgic comfort in these worrying times, Roberts is one of the best we've got.
-
UncutSep 23, 2019This is vintage Roberts, rich poetry couched in spare, beautiful, quietly adventurous arrangements. [Oct 2019, p.36]

Sep 23, 2019The Fiery Margin shames so many songs being written today, not with reproach, but with example after elegant example of how it’s done right.

Sep 23, 2019Roberts' body of work is consistent enough that The Fiery Margin doesn't necessarily stand out, at least in comparison to his traditionally oriented work as opposed to more experimental efforts such as 2018's What News. But as an acoustic artist exploring the lineage of Scottish folk, he's a major talent, and this album captures him in splendid form.
