    The duo’s drone-driven proclivities loosen these tunes from their secular shackles, freeing them from the earthly confines of time and place.

    Hard, clear and carefully ornamented, their harmonies feel as ancient as the hills and as immediate as the wind hitting your face. [No. 143, p.57]

    House and Land is first and foremost a vocal album, full of rough-hewn and exquisitely discordant mountain harmonies---like The Carter Family for the 21st century. [Jul 2017, p.32]

    House of Land makes for a strange old-timey listen. It doesn’t stretch as far from its foundation as some of its referents might suggest, yet it continually pushes at something slightly alien. ... That intelligent play between various traditions makes for a listen at least as captivating as it is new-fangled.

    House and Land don’t just make these songs their own: they effectively reclaim them, illustrating that they’ve always been theirs.
