    It’s a dark folk contemplation, austere acoustics from abrasive, angular strumming, but it feels connected, like it’s part of the earth, part of that elemental, ritualistic essence of being in tune with natural forces.

    The nature of the album seems to suggest added advantages in possibly listening to it at the extremes of the day, whether early in the morning or late at night, being infused with a palpable sense of recoiling and retreat.

    As ghostly grey as an autumn fog, it's definitely a record for when the rain's hammering on the windowpanes at home. [Sep 2016, p.102]
