    I have always loved the psychedelic folk, country and jazz hybrids of the late sixties, particularly the early pre 1970’s Grateful Dead and Fairport Convention. Arbouretum has been a band that tapped into this genre with alacrity. Their first two albums were outstanding. And this one is even better.

Arbouretum has been a band that tapped into this genre with alacrity. Their first two albums were outstanding. And this one is even better. For me they went through a decade of darkness by dipping into a sludgy simplified hard rock territory (with few exceptions such as Heumann’s solo work). The one outlier on this album is a recording from their last recording session 3 years ago,” Let It All In”. It continues the hard rock style with 12 minutes of a thudding relentless Krautrock beat. It’s not bad... for a while, it but it either doesn’t belong in this collection or at the very least it's length should be cut in 1/2. I’m not sure why they let it all in.… Expand

    The 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.

    Let It All In has the steady heart of the ages and the curious intellect of the ageless.

    While as a whole it’s disjointed, and the variation could hinder its success, Arbouretum have undoubtedly released another good album.
