"Top of the world" - "Emerging from The Gloaming's five-strong fold, Hardanger d'amore player Caoimhín Ó Raghallaigh and pianist Thomas Bartlett have struck off to make a singular and stunning album of instrumental pieces that sees both players working deep into their own distinctive terrain and meeting at the heart of it. The album features nine remarkable tracks, with four extending into ten-minute territory, which enables the duo to spread their wings and skilfully negotiate the thermals of inspiration, craft, nuance and improvisation ... It's all live and largely improvised. The dissolving, resolving and reconvening of the music is without hesitation, repetition or restraint, and utterly absorbing"

"If these two remarkable musicians were brought together by coincidence, then they are bound by a shared sense of wonder at the possibilities of instrumental and improvised folk music. They have created an album that is seductively dreamlike but sometimes sad, layered like a palimpsest but accessible on every one of those layers. It is unlikely you will hear a better instrumental album this year"

"Dreams, by their very nature, are elusive, enigmatic and frequently inexplicable. The music that Caoimhín Ó Raghallaigh and Thomas Bartlett make has a reverie-like quality that is similarly elusive. It flows into the ether untethered by time or any notions of categorisation.This pair of musicians has already gloried in one another's company as members of The Gloaming, where they've mined deep seams, strongly rooted in, but not enslaved by, the tradition ... Ó Raghallaigh's hardanger d'amore fiddle is a 10-string instrument which resonates richly at frequencies unreachable by a traditional fiddle or a viola d'amore. Bartlett plays a piano as if his very breath originates from within it. Their eponymous debut as a duo signals a road never before taken, a picaresque amble down quiet bothareens and grassy lanes in pursuit of nothing more than the chance to let the sounds find their own space to breathe. The impressionistic essence of the music they make is joyous, mysterious and tenuous"
