  1. If you liked the harmonies of that romantic duo on the Once soundtrack, you'll fall for these hard-headed, bighearted folkies.
  2. Q Magazine

    A perfect distillation of creatively experimental folk music in the UK today. [May 2008, p.126]
  3. The lack of a reliance on the electronic merging with folk is the most interesting aspect to There Were Wolves; whereas it is essential to the appeal of Genders’ Tunng gang, The Accidental plays it straight, using those ever-present vocal sounds on top of primarily unadorned acoustic numbers.
  4. There Were Wolves won’t excite everyone. It’s understated and lacks the big hooks of more pop-oriented folk artists. But it’s still utterly captivating.
