    The 2nd album from this New York band is filled with gorgeously trippy psychedelic folk songs that radiate a winsome beauty. The idyllic tone of the music rides on lighthearted, quirky melodies that often belie the lyrical darkness. Members and contributors have played in Quilt, Woods, Purple Mountains, Pavo Pavo, Landlady, Cloud Becomes Your Hand, Meneguar, more.

    Olden Yolk have big ideas and big dreams about what type of art they want to make, and for the most part, they execute in such a way that feels both strangely soothing and impossibly lovely.

    Living Theatre is the perfect intersection of nature and artifice, the very definition of what organic music can and should sound like, and it is a beautiful thing to behold.

    What's particularly impressive is the way their distinctive approaches combine. [Jul 2019, p.33]
