"Conceived as "the sister companion release" to last year's The Devil Makes Three, this seven-track mini-album comprises three brand-new pieces and four remixes of songs from that previous record. There's a tendency among old folkies like me to view the art of remixing (...) with deep suspicion, but the exhilarating recordings are the fruits of joyous collaborations with talented individuals who share their musical spirit of adventure ... Shell Story is the latest episode in Catriona Price and Esther Swift's ongoing mission to boldly go where no Scottish fiddle and harp duo has gone before".
