"Takes the Renaissance Faire sound and blasts it wide open with honest-to-god rawk. Buzzing guitars blend startlingly with strings and a wealth of other instruments to help expand the canvas on which singer Gillian Chadwick lays her preapocalyptic dramas." -Time Out New York



"Ripe with drama, rippling with rainbow colored acid flourishes, moored loosely with cello and violin and viola, but flapping crazily in the wind, this debut album from Ex Reverie is the most rocking, least traditional sort of freak folk, an ominous LSD daydream that can be entered but not explained.this door leads into otherness, as brightly colored and mythical as freak folk can be." - Popmatters



"This is an extraordinary work. embrace its elfin glory." - Terrascope



"Very ambitious original take on rocked-up traditional folk balladry.Singer and songwriter Gillian Chadwick seems like someone to keep an ear on." - USA Today.com



"The most impressive band to come out of Greg and Jessica Weeks's Language of Stone repertoire so far is Ex Reverie.Chadwick's singing on the band's debut, The Door into Summer, evokes a more sinister Sandy Denny (Fairport Convention), her voice rising like an incantation over the music and then falling back among the flora



Ex Reverie is an exciting band to listen to. The Door into Summer is the kind of album that makes you impatient for the next one. Chadwick works in a timeless vocabulary of sounds and syllables, a language that welcomes the modern world into the bosom of nature. In this way it is a generous and boundless music for all its darkness." 8/10 - Prefix Magazine



"This is densely bewitching stuff, almost claustrophobically sensual." - London Kicks



"The poetic lyrics and some of the arrangements seem to be in touch with folk traditions (with a touch of Zeppelin-esque mysticism), but the blazing guitars and rock rhythms call upon the glam bombast of Bowie and Bolan. While the music certainly evokes the sounds of the past, there's no denying that "The Door Into Summer" is a fresh and exciting album in its own right.Really, it's worth the time to get to know the striking lyrics, inventive instrumentation, and fantastic arrangements. Each of these elements are tucked away like little surprises throughout the entirety of "The Door Into Summer," waiting to be heard. What ultimately makes this album a great one is that it manages to adeptly channel the group's glam and folk influences and become something all its own. 9/10." - Foxy Digitalis
