“playing hand-struck, softly burnished songs... Cullum restores a gentle magic to the world”

“Folky and jazzy like a lost curio from the early '70s, it's a folk-horror tale deeply rooted in Cullum's English homeland”

“Sparkly and strange in careful balance, it administers its acid folk in microdoses alongside stargazing krautrock sprawl, with aeronautical guitar savant Rich Ruth, folk-singing oracle Erin Rae, and other lords of his supreme Nashville guild in faithful attendance.”

“Cullum's pedal steel guitar and cast of fellow Nashville all-stars conjure up seventies UK folk balladry, seaside krautrock excursions and a healthy dose of the Wyatt/Ayers psych-prog nucleus.”

“...truly exceptionally beautiful”

“...a richly satisfying conclusion to his trilogy of albums, firmly establishing him as an artist with a unique vision.”

“While musically, this record might feel the most diverse, lyrically it’s one of his most cohesive, a treatise on nature, climate collapse, folk tales, curses, and consequences.”

“He has a soft, bass-heavy voice that perfectly complements his playing on both pedal steel and acoustic guitar - remarkable for the finesse of his touch, never showy”

“...mystical feel of medeival folk music, hushed and wonderful”

“...a sonic pastiche of lo-fi warmth and gentle psych-folk instrumentation with his relaxed vocals at the forefront.”

“His often pastoral folk loses none of its usual clarity”

“There’s an inner warmth here that belies our times.”

“...a handful of wonderful, bucolic songs, timeless transfigurations of the folk-rock aesthetic honed since the mid-1960s on both sides of the Atlantic.”

“...the album's hazy sepia-tinged sound and the gently throbbing live-feel arrangements propel Cullum's sharpest set of tunes yet to remarkable levels of earthy loveliness.”
