Editorial Reviews

Graig Markel is truly unique and gifted. His music developed as he helped shape the sound of the Pacific Northwest with his late 90's trio, New Sweet Breath. Since then, Markel has released three solo albums and toured both on his own and as a guitarist for Tagging Satellites. Graig took his time completing his latest record, Via Novella and it shows. From production work to the song writing, everything shines. It is by far Graig's best piece of work to date. Graig has also been working under the name Animals at Night and has collaborated on many NW projects including Head Like a Kite's latest release.

Deep, dark, disturbing and surreal is how I'd best describe this new album from Graig Markel. It listens like an ethereal fairy tale which one cannot escape from. His voice is transcendent. It captures you deep and draws you in, deep, almost too deep at times. The chords are amazing. Almost haunting, as if the instruments themselves are weeping with you.

Personally, I find it best to listen to this album, loud, while in the shower, so no one can hear you crying along with it.

This is the best hour of music I've listened to since Sun Kil Moon's Tiny Cities came out.
