Mar 20, 2020Arbouretum comes on as gentle as a rolling creek, never letting on the full range of their powers until the songs have silently grown from still waters to cresting waves.

Q MagazineMar 20, 2020Unusually welcoming entry point. [May 2020, p.92]

The WireApr 28, 2020The band’s template has barely changed over those years but that isn’t to suggest a lack of artistic growth. “How Deep It Goes”, the opening track from their tenth album Let It All In, is a prime example of their peculiar progression as it exudes the reassuring warmth of California songsmiths of yesteryear yet still somehow manages to wedge a wash of icy interplay between Huemann’s guitar and Matthew Pierce’s synths smack dab in the middle of the track. [May 2020, p.48]

Mar 26, 2020Let It All In feels lived-in and newly cut from his core.
-
Apr 8, 2020Let It All In has the steady heart of the ages and the curious intellect of the ageless.
-
Mar 20, 2020The main issue with this Arbouretum album is that it sticks stubbornly in a mid-tempo calm. There are no big, ripping guitar solos and few instrumental crescendos. The one big exception comes late in the album with “Let It All In.”
-
Mar 31, 2020While as a whole it’s disjointed, and the variation could hinder its success, Arbouretum have undoubtedly released another good album.
