“There’s an impressively fluid understanding between the Canadian Jensen sisters in atmospheric, graceful folk-jazz dialogue.”
Jazzwise Magazine (website)
“Strong, folk-tinged melodies, spacious, austere harmony and slow-burn grooves that ebb and flow like the tide.”
★★★★ Irish Times
“Echoes of Miles Davis, Wayne Shorter and Kenny Wheeler shimmer through the material in a dreamy, ruminative fashion, giving a good sense of light and shade to the intricate compositions.”
★★★★ Jazz Journal (website)
“A deeply personal album of original improvisations with well-crafted arrangements that also highlights their soloing prowess.”
Jazz Hot (Fr)
“Beauty, power, melody, noise, all enter the sonic soundscape… The sisters are a formidable force in contemporary music.”
