"This slow-burning collaborative album from Jesca Hoop and Iron & Wine's Sam Beam recalls healing summer storms more than destructive blazes".

"Love Letter for Fire's particular charm lies in its two creators' hesitance to take centre-stage. Written as conversational duets, the musical magnetism between first-time collaborators Jesca Hoop, California songwriter and adopted Manchester resident, and cult folk artist Sam Beam of Iron and Wine, allows for space and nuance, more two friends lamenting late into the night than tussling theatrics. Their dusky country and Americana avoids traditional tropes or slide guitars and pedal steels".
