"What Ó hEadhra and Mackenzie are doing is not only great music; they seem to be on a rare mission to create their very own, bold vision of this particular tradition. What they have so far come up with is challenging, and it is gorgeous."

"Ó hEadhra, Mackenzie and their colleagues masterfully combine acoustic instruments with delightful and mesmerising subtle electronic elements, including dreamtime ambient layers. The sound design was finely crafted by highly talented musician and composer Mike Vass."
