"This red vinyl LP features eight gentle visionary acoustic-based personal/universal folk songs... Tender emotionally open human mystic lullabies to life, and very lovely indeed. Highly recommended." - George Parsons, (editor) Dream Magazine

"Sidereal and wintry work hewn by Fletcher Tucker & Spencer Owen... Languid and impossibly spent, musty in antiquarian repose, a funereal banjo-[as-ukelele] below blackened skies, winter-as-denouement, & sedulous mortality begetting the guile inside hibernation?..dead deer & termites, the fern host to bark beetles, BIRD BY SNOW is to folk what cave paintings are to post-expressionism - a foreshadow of gestalt whose configuration is so unified & elemental, that its properties cannot be derived ? neither by a summation of parts or even by the detritus of modern malaise that made this project necessary?.. blustery and just possibly, the New Archaic." - Mitch, DJ for KFJC Los Altos Public Radio

"There is love here. What a beautiful mass of matter this vinyl-only release is. Gorgeous. Then, ladies and earthworms - there is the music that lies beneath the delicate red grooves of sides etched 'A' and 'B'... Like full lunar orbs for eyes - digest. The reality that I understand and accept your ethereal offerings within move me to stages of frightful delight. Wooly men are barking at invisible Moons as cloaked strangers are eating their own tainted treats. The end is... . unbeknownst." - Slightly Confussing to a Stranger
