Press for HORATIO HYMNS

This record here is absolutely essential for anyone that's into folk music, especially if you like your folk music with lots of psychedelia and touches of drone throughout. [HAMMER SMASHED SOUND]

I've always been somewhat attracted to and fascinated by owls, but lately have become a little obsessive and added to my other idiosyncratic bits of schtick the desire to buy any album I come across that contains owl imagery. [...]As luck would have it, it’s a pretty goddam badass album! Mellow, spacey and delicious. [ELECTRIC CATHDERAL]

about Ross Major

While earlier recordings saw him reflecting upon a softer side of the folk spectrum (Farewell), he is now stepping wildly and blindly into the realms of psychedelia and drone with a definitive finesse one would usually acquire through decades of thorough concentration and practice.
