April 12, 2024
The duo’s third album of instrumental guitar recordings pushes their sinuous compositions into labyrinthine new shapes, interlocking and interlocutory, supported by a cast of stellar collaborators. Interwoven among the dazzling original pieces is a fascinating array of covers, ranging from traditional Breton dance tunes to a deconstruction of Neneh Cherry’s “Buffalo Stance.”
Their melody-first sensibilities are perfectly suited to each other … playfully complex guitar work that sounds as if it was tossed off in an afternoon of whiskey and laughs. – NPR
An intoxicating, intricate web … Wherever Salsburg and Elkington go, it’s always a pleasure. – Aquarium Drunkard
Sounds like winter has always been approaching, like Indian summer never quite fades, like fall isn’t built around loss. – Stereogum
