Jul 10, 2015This is one of the most beautiful albums you’ll hear this year or any other, speaking softly but resonating deeply and long after the last sounds fade away.
-
Jun 22, 2015It carefully builds--creatively and emotionally--on everything Baird had accomplished so far and ascends to another level entirely.
-
Jun 15, 2015Don’t Weigh Down the Light is a precise, meditative work, and one that can be rewarding with each successive listen.

Jun 22, 2015A true post-folk record, dyed in the acoustic sound of the English and Californian folk movements of the late 1960s and early ’70s, but not particularly scholarly or eccentric.
