“Nat Baldwin’s upright bass is Joanna Newsom’s harp, Andrew Bird’s violin – a partner so indispensable, it’s a personal trait. Over a gorgeous bull-fiddle hum, he belts out these melismatic flourishes… This delivery is terrifically earnest, terrifyingly intimate, and terribly special.” – The Boston Phoenix
“His musical imagination is expansive, while his lack of pretense is admirable” – Pitchfork
“The New Hampshire-native (and Anthony Braxton disciple) rains hyper-melodic chamber fire in melismatic, cinematic glory.” – RCRD LBL
