Product Description Beautiful six-panel fold-out digipack with original art by Nicole Boitos. Guest appearances by Joolie Wood, Jon Contreras, and Lavinia Blackwall. Review ... strong influences from outside the precincts of folk music: minimalist composers like Steve Reich and Terry Riley, and some of their precursors, like Erik Satie.... (Blackshaw) fingerpicks his 12-string Guild with an immersive focus befitting such heady allusions ... a stark and ancient feeling, like something handed down through the ages.... --New York Times... one of the best and most original instrumentalists in the new, acoustic renaissance. --Rolling StoneEver since this twentysomething Londoner burst onto the insular and puritanical steel-string guitar scene, he's been releasing albums at an annual pace. But for his eighth record, Blackshaw moves beyond those confines, melding his mesmeric, masterful technique with cello and violin contributions from members of experimental folk group Current 93 and setting the wordless vocals of Trembling Bells' Lavinia Blackwall to the driving, haunting opener Cross. Then, at the piano bench for the poignant ballad Fix and the stunning, assured finale Arc, Blackshaw makes you forget all about his guitar and your earthly cares.4 1/2 stars --SPIN magazine
