"A third album full of complex arrangements, strong singing and the clear sense of a band seriously stretching their wings. Their confident, accomplished arrangements of traditional tracks (...) has already won them many admirers and a few awards too, but more interesting is the way they tackle the non-trad stuff ... They've pulled out a couple of winners here. With its shuffling banjo/mandolin waltz arrangement and vocal effects that conjure the old-fashioned atmosphere of something from the 1950s, Laura Beth-Salter's Our Bottle is a particularly enlightened way of portraying a relationship breakdown; and pitching Olivia Ross's appealing vocals in an edgy American-flavoured setting on Pity Me is also pleasingly intriguing. The rest is a little more conventional and predictable, though there is a Gaelic language love song, a chirpy version of Laurel Premo's Sugarwine, some slightly scary textures from Rachel Newton's electroharp and plenty of characteristicallyintricateinstrumental interplay - not to mention rhythmic arrangements - in a lively variety of tune sets. They show that even when you're serious you can still have fun".
