"Breabach have evolved into a distinctive voice at the forefront of the folk scene thanks to their skilful playing and their talent for combining harmonies and key messages for the listener. Fàs is just their next step forward in their journey of discovery".

"Breabach's Fàs is a miorbhuileach (aka wonderful!) Scottish folk album that avoids the commercial big shops on Princes Street. Rather, it strolls down the backstreets of Edinburgh, enjoys a Belhaven pint (or two!), contemplates a walk onto heights of Arthur's Seat, and then conjures the beauty of the Firth of Forth's midnight lapping waves with its songs and instrumental prowess".

"Although they have all the chops of their contemporaries, rather than showy bravadaccio performance, they are content to allow the songs, words and music, to be the focus. To be able to play it all this well doesn't need signposting or signalling, it just is".

"Popular Scottish band Breabach return with their first album in four years having used the enforced periods of gigging inactivity during the pandemic to reflect on the world around us and develop the group's tonal palette. New arrival Conal McDonagh adds a new voice and a new sound, the uilleann pipes ... Singer-fiddler Megan Henderson's brother, Ewen, has written 'Eadar an Dà Bhràigh', a fine contemporary Gaelic song sung by Henderson, in praise of a Lochaber nature reserve - but there's also a nicely turned reading of John McLellan's retreat march 'Lochanside'. The softly tuneful 'Revolutions' addresses renewable energies and the title-track - a Gaelic word meaning 'growth,' 'developing' or 'sprouting' has crisply riffing guitar, fiddle and bass parts and a lilting whistle line behind Henderson's sweet, spirited vocals and the group chorus".
