Editorial Reviews

Review

"...Arbouretum [has] transcended their rep as sidemen... 'Song of the Pearl' manages to sound brighter and more dynamic while retaining its predecessor's visionary essence." 4 Stars. --Mojo

"The best doom-folk record of all time" --Xlr8

"Epic and melancholic...it conjures up such a brooding sense of gothic Americana...[that] is underpinned by a drive and energy which suggest an equal immersion in American rock lore" --The Wire
