Old rockhounds never die

"An engagingly peculiar mix of experimental folk, Americana, and field recording pastiche, Odetta Hartman's excellent sophomore full-length, Old Rockhounds Never Die, expands on her similarly charming 2015 debut, 222. Like that album, Rockhounds was produced by partner and collaborator Jack Inslee, whose warped manipulations and decidedly modernist aesthetic deeply inform Hartman's unusual presentation ... Equal parts mesmerizing and challenging, Rockhounds has a truly unique allure".

"In a musical ecosystem where singular is overused and haunting is all but nauseating, Hartman and Inslee's work here is deserving of such accolades. There is nothing quite else that ties together such imaginative incongruence with ease, a quilt of scraps that cannot be replicated. What should be a hot mess is a marvel, a constellation of sounds shining bright and mysterious".
