"Top of the world" - "Following on from his Island Records debut, The Unfinished Violin, England's premiere fiddler releases a small band album with a big sound ... He emphasises that this is a tune set 'without agenda, mission or theme'. Some have traditional sources, but Sweeney has set about them like a cut-up artist in sound, drawing on fragments, variations and reversals of what's in the source, and remaking them from the ground up ... The album is beautiful, perfectly formed and executed. The subtle currents of Mackay's electronic keys and Campbell's electric guitar are the perfect suitors to join Sweeney's lead runs"

"On Unearth Repeat, Sam Sweeney and band have achieved the rare feat of creating folk music that is both forward-looking and mature; modern and cosmopolitan in its influences but at the same time undeniably English and anchored in the tradition. A point of departure, both for Sam Sweeney and English folk music"
