"At times it is quite striking the way the pastoral music intertwines with the vulnerability, courage, and quiet calm of her poetry. Much like the natural world it describes, Complete Mountain Almanac is a deeply nuanced record of layers and unseen details that only reveal themselves with time".

"Rebekka Karijord and Jessica Dessner's rather special song cycle harks back to Schubert in its pictorial settings but also brings in healthy elements of modern classical music and folk".

"Complete Mountain Almanac may be the boldest, most daring album to come out all year. Its unique blending of sounds and structures makes it required listening for anybody that appreciates everything that music can be and do".
