"Buchla, Rush, and Sunderlin combine for an inspired pairing, their acoustic instruments (autoharp, banjo, viola, guitar) ringing true when called upon, destabilizing when necessary.
When it all comes together on “don’t hit the fly rub the hands or the legs,” the result is a breathtaking ambient post-folk meltdown, a smear of sunlight glimmer distorting surroundings, a visualization that wouldn’t be out of place in the active genetic mutations of Alex Garland’s Annihilation. But that’s exactly what the trio is doing here: mutating traditional folk into gloriously unstable hybridizations and allowing them to run their course, whether by molecular devolution or bursting to nothingness."
-Ryan Masteller, Tiny Mixtapes
"A float in tepid still water, the conscious twinkling in and out of dream state, like hazy clouds blanketing the stars. Once inoculated, droning electronics worm their way deep within the core."
-Lost in a Sea of Sound
