"This wonderful album opens with the swirling sustain of an organ,
lilting percussion (bodhran?) quiet, precise guitar and earthy vocals
& builds from there. Traditional in one sense, quietly experimental in
others, Hobbyhorse's Break in the Clouds embodies the magic that is
woven in the art of folk music - and by folk music I mean music that
is authentic, spirited & manifest from the love of creation rather
than 'music industry' profit motive. Each song is a delight of
discovery."
