    The Marble Downs is a cult classic in the making, and if Oldham's involvement helps more people discover Trembling Bells' eclectic brilliance, so much the better.

    The Marble Downs is an unexpectedly gorgeous concoction of uncanny musical stylings.

    Even those wearied by Oldham's avalanche of releases should investigate. [May 2012, p.87]

    A collaboration enrichingly beneficial to both sides - and to the listener.

    The Marble Downs should be a welcome addition to the oeuvre of both artists involved. Quirky and challenging, yet ultimately rewarding, it may not garner new fans unfamiliar with either Oldham or Trembling Bells, but it nevertheless deserves a spot amongst the best collaborations of recent years.

    A prayer of a record, despair turned into poetry.
