"They have created and perfected a musical language all their own... beyond exquisite."
Fiona Talkington, Songlines 5/5
"another terrific album from this prodigious pair of musicians"
Alex Monaghan, The Living Tradition
"the emotional stir ... is overwhelming, physical, and profound."
Liverpool Sound and Vision
"‘Borrowed Days’ - oh my lord! I honestly can’t remember when I was last so taken aback by an instrumental; a five-minute conjuration of storms and supernatural shenanigans, conjured in all its elemental avant-folk-jazz magnificence. ... On just a fiddle and a guitar! This one’s a bit special."
RnR
"There is an unquestionable virtuosity here. Both musicians explore the capabilities of their instruments and do the kind of things many others only dream of... This music is bold, brave and gutsy."
