“In ‘Calling,’ Carey’s whispery voice hovers above a jazzy, subdued, seven-beat pulse, whisper-singing about nature as revelation…His voice is answered and then gives way to Raymond’s trumpet, dissolving into wordless wonderment.”
Jon Pareles - The New York Times
“[‘Calling’ is] a layered, unfolding ballad with soothing, almost ambient vocals and synths and stirring flutters of trumpet and flugelhorn.”
Amy Geiger - BrooklynVegan
"The new album invites listeners to leap into a new musical world: one that blends indie, folk, jazz, and pop, and floats into an atmospheric-electronic soundscape."
Rebecca Mennecke - Mpls. St.Paul Magazine
“Together, the pair finds poignant beauty within the track’s negative space, steeping the track in an understated, unvoiced yearning.”
Caleb Campbell - Under The Radar
“[‘Steadfast’] provides an] anthemic feel to the record while maintaining the sense of wonder inspired by the natural world which the core collaborators seem to bring out in each other.”
Kim March - Flood Magazine
“a breathtaking eruption of jazz-tinged indie folk warmth and wonder, ‘Chrysalis’ is a visceral and vulnerable enchantment full of soaring highs, stunning lows, and a world of sound in-between.”
Mitch Mosk - Atwood Magazine
