"[This] debut release (...) does not disappoint. "London's best-kept secret" really should be more widely known, and even revered for its captivating, quasi-mystical, meditative summoning of landscape, tradition and beauty. This is a lost, Eastern European, other world of fragile and filigreed klezmer, Roma music and much else besides. And the whole is perfectly wrapped in a spectrally pencilled cover of bare trees by Oscar-garlanded "Lord of the Rings"-artist, Alan Lee ... In late night experimentation and resignation, riffs and motifs rapidly circle out of the darkness and into an uneasy electronica calm of elemental weather and desperate melancholy. This approach unearths new and telling details in laments from Transylvania and in Jewish music recorded onto wax cylinder by lost violin and cimbalom maestros in early twentieth-century Russia".
