As roots music goes this is one of the strongest albums of the year.”

Lonesome Highway (---> full review)

4.5 stars out of 5... finely constructed arrangements... extraordinarily rich songs... The tunes themselves are transcendent meditations. ”

Their sound has been described as Cinematic Canadiana, in which case this is most definitely their widescreen blockbuster.”

Fatea UK (---> full review)

This album is pure, cinematic Americana at its finest, with the sweet, distinctive vocals of Keri Latimer right up front... With Velvet Paintings, they are once again making greatness sound effortless.”

‘In the Woods’ is a darkly atmospheric song that draws us in with its haunting melody. The song’s mood is enhanced further by the gorgeous theremin, and the accompanying video is suitably tense and creepy.”
