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.

Fritz Heckert 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".

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.

If Not Now, Who?
by Joe K. Walsh

Everything about this wonderful recording works beautifully! The writing is fun and adventurous without being pretentious or contrived, the musicianship is awe-inspiring ... every single note is played with gravity, intention and purpose and the whole thing is a joy-filled experience for both the ears and soul. In the time since Joe released "Borderland" I'd convinced myself that I couldn't possibly love his music more. Along comes "If Not Now, Who?", and I stand corrected. Wayne Fugate
