Another stellar release from this long-lived ensemble. Though the King Crimson influence is obvious & that comparison unavoidable, these guys have made many great recordings that can't be categorized as 'mere copies'. The perfect balance of aggressive riffing and serene soundscapes. Stephen Roberts
Are the lost birds of Lilikoi and Silverlight part of the tales of Blacwyd? Are they other legends from the time of the Black Oaks? What are the Black Oaks, are they near the sea? dmwstrauss
Free-flowing, loosely structured songs that borrow lightly from jazz and ambient but expand in directions all their own. Bandcamp New & Notable Oct 7, 2023
