This is a phenomenally good album & I urge you to stop whatever you're doing, buy a copy and bury yr head between the speakers. Matthew's classic American primitive guitar is ENVELOPED by Jen's hammered dulcimer & Jayson's smattering percussion, like some bastard offspring of Robbie Basho & the Velvets at their most unhinged. Ecstatic, vital stuff. North Country Primitive

I smoked a bongful of Fruit Loops and Fruit Loops and hunkered down w/ this incredible, enveloping slab. Not sure where Axacan is, but while there, Mr. Bachman apparently absorbed the Numero Group’s Environments series as well as Steve Reich, Lamonte Young, thunderstorms, a ragged Oldsmobile, John Fahey’s City of Refuge, a touch of Sun City Girls… and possibly an alligator? Another masterwork with many layers I look fwd to unfolding. Otis Nugatory
