Sep 26, 2018Quiet River of Dust Vol. 1 is a mind-blowing and extremely powerful record filled with strong songwriting and production touches that show Parry at the top of his game. A truly effortless collection of songs worth revisiting for years to come.

Sep 26, 2018Nothing is as good as "Song of Wood." After a deliberately stuttering start, a soft trilling combines with lush vocals, growing into a final minute that is utterly gorgeous, as beautiful as anything released this year. The most spectacular thing here is that "Song of Wood" isn't an outlier. It's merely the shiniest treasure on an album full of them. Vol. 2 has a lot to live up to.

Sep 26, 2018Quiet River of Dust Vol. 1 is an enchanted forest of a record--deceptively tranquil, but always buzzing with hidden life. Parry’s other band famously told of us of a place where no cars go. This is what it feels like to actually be there.
