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
