"...a beautiful thing and unique in many ways. In fact given the circumstances around its recording it is a miracle it got made at all; the fact that it is so raw and honest and downright excellent is all the more remarkable." "...this is a journey, a misadventurer's odyssey; it's vivid, it's elemental and the wounds are exposed. The road is pitted and merciless, stark and unyielding. The engrossing imagery will draw you in and repeated listening reveals new musical and lyrical nuances." - Nigel Johnson |
