"Širom is a Slovenian trio who plays imaginary-psychedelic folk music, inspired by the pioneering work of Don Cherry, but you can find in its inclusive aesthetics echoes of the sonic journeys of Stephen Micus, Jon Hassell's Fourth World, unplugged faUSt, Gnawa hallucinogenic rituals, and familiar and more esoteric references of old and imaginary musical traditions from the Balkan, Turkey, Persia, Samarkand, Tibet and West Africa ... «The Liquified Throne of Simplicity» captures the trio in its most expansive, fully developed and hypnotizing inclinations (...), [offering] six free-form drone pieces, about eighty minutes of dreamy, abstract and rustic folky soundscapes".

"The imaginary folk trio powered by acoustic and handmade instruments engage and invite with expansive compositions that echo the past, present and future. Haunting and subtle vocals accompany, meditative hurdy-gurdy, lilting lute, banjo riffs, viola plucks, scratches, wind and stretches blend with a range of probing and diverse percussive rhythms to provide an immersive state of escapism. The track names prepare you for reconnecting with the landscapes awaiting".

"Combining surreal humour with a globalised sound palette, Slovenian "imaginary folk" trio Širom fashion maximalist avant-garde soundscapes from antique acoustic instruments like the balafon and hurdy gurdy ... "Grazes, Wrinkles, Drifts Into Sleep" opens with gentle freak-folk twinkles and scrapes but evolves into a free-jazz cacophony of drones reminiscent of vintage John Cale. Even if the trio occasionally flirt with over-indulgence, their artfully rootless roots music makes an impassioned statement both aesthetically and, more opaquely, politically too".
