meatnordrink Always excited to see more from Hawktail! Favorite track: Antilopen.

ch1pself What a rare treat of an album. Absolutely sublime, introspective, and contemplative from start to finish. Is this the first vocalless, bluegrass concept album?!

I believe it may be. Favorite track: Pomegranate in the Oak Tree.

Seth Premo Moments of this album are like sound tapestries not represented well in typical song structures, nor to the lyrics of someone else's narratives. They don't have to 'chorus,' they don't have to repeat -- true to life. Thankful for all of these acorns of sound which allude to the might oaks of our waking dreams, at their own natural pace, akin to their own happenstance. Favorite track: Pomegranate in the Oak Tree.

johnchambliss I love the textural, tempo, and emotional changes throughout "Shallows".

waltermoss Convinced you like to make grown men cry when Brittany hits those high notes I lose it every time. just too beautiful for these ugly times we are living in. Thank you for your grace. we need you .
Favorite track: Shallows.

ABOUT PLACE OF GROWTH
The first ideas for “Wanderings” and “Updraft” originated in late 2016. Much of the “Big Sun” lead had been kicking around since late 2017. Two Hawktail albums elapsed while these ideas remained unfinished. When Lena Jonsson challenged the band to “tune-swap” in early 2021, they got a creative jolt. Subsequently they decided to make an album, finishing the aforementioned material. “Shallows” and “Pomegranate in the Oak Tree” arrived just in time during this process.

I've had a mad crush on Natalie Haas's music from the moment I first heard it. To hear both sisters playing together - well, it's a no brainer! If you enjoy folk cello, for want of a better term, just buy this. You won't reget it :-) Joseph Karl

I don't listen to much country music, so I don't really know where this one lands, but I find it has some pretty good tunes and definitively good musicianship. Some of the songs mights soound a bit cheesy, but I enjoy this album overall nonetheless. The tunes which are more sounding like ballads get my preference, such as Northern Babe, and North Country Blues. Thibaut Devigne

Very good album overall. There are a lot of layers and subtility to it. I'm pretty new to bluegrass and I like how they incorporate other genres. Only downside, the warehouse can't ship outside the US, still could get a cd with Amazon. nicolescadres
