"Folk of the future ... The Hardanger fiddle, accordion, zither and baritone guitar frequently combine into shared textures, gently re-shaped via effects, these acoustic instruments surrounded by a dispersing halo of electronically altered natures. Delicately plucked strings flit above what sounds like a very large and deep frame drum. Frode Haltli also provides some extremely low lines on his accordion. The players are well versed in crafting sparse environmental scenes, but the first two tracks feature tipped-in vocal samples that might detract from a listener's desired state of concentrated intensity. Then, the fourth track "Pyramiden" sounds like the essence of Norwegian folk tradition, and Apneseth further enhances his vision of a subtly transformed old-meets-new, grafting delicate shoots onto gnarled boles. His phrases have tiny decorative flourishes, while Haltli's playing has an enlarged, churchy reverberance"

"Apneseth has a proven track record of utilizing his hardanger fiddle as a doorway to recapture the life of old tunes, but never before has he quite so freely moved along the timeline. Some of this alluring clash between past and future is the resulting convergence of guest Frode Haltli's accordion and the electronic textures from baritone guitarist Stephan Meidell. There's an awestruck beauty to the way these disparate elements fall into one another's embrace"
