"Songs like Returned in Time have barely been bettered in Scotland this year, and it is not alone." Song By Toad
"I wasn't prepared for how unexpectedly good this release is." Is This Music? 4.5/5
"Huldra is a breathtaking, seductive mixture of old and new" Kowalskiy
"Evil Hands Pointless Existence is the best Beta Band/Lone Pigeon song youve never heard. Before this, I had never heard what form of abstract Scottish folk the primarily ambient electronica label could produce." Benbecula minerals series review by Alan Ranta
