"While Ward and Mulholland have worked together before, on 2012 album Waiting for the Storm, Mulholland's 2014 move to Mali was, in many ways, the catalyst for Alba Griot Ensemble. The addition of ngoni master Yacouba Sissoko is key to the Ensemble's sound, the sounds of Afro-Manding blues a perfect complement to the Celtic folk sounds Mulholland and Ward provide. Meanwhile, d'Hoine is the perfect jazz bassist: flexible and always willing to step outside the box to do whatever suits the group as a whole".

"Alba Griot Ensemble are a cohesive unit, combining traditions, cultures and styles into unique mixture. The pulse of Mali is constant thanks to Sissoko's vital contributions as well as that of many of the guest musicians. The sincerity of Mulholland's Scottish folk blend is enhanced by this dynamic group and their genuine release. The Darkness Between the Leaves is a fine, rewarding listen".
