about

"A sense of anticipation on "Cremation Ground" brings forward celebratory heights only to end in bleak reality. Accompanied by a mandolin that dances on its tiptoes to grizzly melodies, the enviable escape is a transcendental black hole."
-Weird Canada

"There is a nicely moody cabaret feel to some of these songs, surprising in all the right ways, with some quick left turns and tasty enmeshing of jazzy pointillism and kitchen-sink percussion propelled by Macdonald’s mastery of the mandolin, hallucinant lyrics and solid songwriting. Tracks billow and explode to peaks, to drift back down, propelled by the deftly chosen instrumentation. A unique and finely crafted bunch of songs by an off-kilter talent."
-The Big Takeover
