"Driven by awe and wonder, hope and joy, Iona Lane's 'Hallival' is a masterful debut. Across this album, the Leeds-based folk singer delivers her poetic songs with the utmost care and attention. Subtle musical touches and contemplative warm vocals combine to make this one of the most rewarding albums of the year".

"Iona Lane was brought up in the high country. Living in the Yorkshire Dales, holidaying in Scotland, she thanks her parents for dragging her up hills as a child. Her upbringing has now found its voice in her debut album, Hallival, named after a mountain on the Isle of Rum - or Rùm or Rhum depending on your preference. This is a very Scottish album ... Iona's music brings with it a feeling of the open air - perhaps recording on the shore of a sea loch has something to do with that - and the opening track, 'Western Tidal Swell', is an ode to the Isle of Rum and the titular mountain. It fades away at the end like an ebbing tide which is a lovely touch ... Hallival is a most accomplished debut and, while Iona might be lucky with her backing musicians and co-writers she has earned that luck".

"Iona Lane, born and brought up in Yorkshire, spent childhood holidays in the Scottish islands and the singer and guitarist's first album is largely inspired by them, her songs drawing on their topography, mythology and geology - Hallival is a mountain in the isle of Rùm. There is something of the wind in her singing and a salt tang to her music. It is rooted in folk - with Scottish musicians Lauren MacColl on fiddle and Rachel Newton on harp - but the synth of Sol Edwards and Jay Taylor's field organ create a modernistic evocation of wind, tide and seabird".
