"Folk-rock visionary's stunning treasure. Alasdair Roberts has delivered his strongest work to date. Here, percussionist Alex Neilson, former Appendix Out colleagues, sundry Finnish outsiders and a baroque guitarist hoe out a swinging, peaty folk-rock patch where Roberts can sow his reed-voiced songs. He is on fire lyrically, drawing on mystical poetry, Celtic legend, Renaissance exploration and Easter philosophy to explore the ills of modern society, culminating in the 'scurvy dream' of 'Ned Ludd's Rant (for a World Rebarbarised)'." - Uncut
