*****Guardian Review
"As spring flashes in, this album heralds the season with astonishing power...Knapp's voice throughout is a revelation, both pure and wild, springing free. Cuckoos, whirring clocks and buzzing flies add extra layers to this fascinating sound world on an album overflowing with warmth, light and waywardness.
*****MOJO (No 2 MOJO Folk Album of The Year 2017)
"...ancient tradition with respect and beauty...excitingly daring and enlightened."
