"Sarah Louise Henson is one with nature. As a musician, her ethereal offerings sound as if they are endorsed both by the Sierra Club and a roving band of mystics. And maybe the ghost of Ralph Waldo Emerson. The Asheville, North Carolina area creative ups the ante on her new LP, Deeper Woods, a transcendent journey through Mother Earth's majesty ... Sometimes Deeper Woods is a loud, beating-wind squall, and sometimes it's a gentle murmur. Either way, it wraps the listener up in many rich, entrancing layers".

"A bold step forward for Henson, these new compositions underscore both the uniqueness and the expansiveness of her musical voice ... Nearly every song enchants. Linked by images of natural forces and the swarming growth of a living Earth, the album luxuriates in organic sounds that complement Henson's words".

"In terms of the ability to interweave 12-string intricacy and vocal expression, Sarah Louise, who also performs as half of the duo House and Land, is among the brightest stars of the latest crop of American Primitive performers. On Deeper Woods (...), the Asheville, North Carolina, musician displays her vocal chops with prominence ...".

"A commendably independent artist, renowned as a composer and improviser on the twelve-string guitar, this album marks Sarah Louise's emergence as a singer, song-writer and multi-instrumentalist, having taught herself piano and recorder to complement these songs' arrangements ... Just seven tracks long, 'Deeper woods' is nonetheless a complete work - an exploration of inner as well as outer landscapes. It's an intensely personal record with a recently-ended relationship at its core, and a recurring theme of sleeplessness. Listening to it is an experience akin to a slowly-evolving waking dream - a state in whitch a sense of permanence is found not in stasis, but in nature's ever-changing cycles".
