Reviews
“...it highlights not just their melodic musicianship but also how deeply engaging and well-crafted their music is. While The Wilderness Yet are inspired by and borrow tradition, there is a contemporary edge that heightens the pulse of the song and listener, capturing its essence and making it shine all the brighter. Exceptional...
This is surely one of the folk albums of the year."

“A timeless and heady mix of traditions, the self-titled debut from The Wilderness Yet is an outstanding collection from three musicians at the top of their game."
– Folk Radio UK
“It's truly a thing of beauty... the music within is abundantly delicious... the instrumental textures are intelligently sparing yet satisfyingly rich... steeped in folklore and nature... this uplifting and distinctive disc is destined to prove a highlight of 2020."
– The Living Tradition
“This debut fairly thrums with life, its music echoing the aureate hymn to the natural world by Gerard Manley Hopkins which informs both their name and their title track... bright lissom vocals... finely poised a cappella singing."
– The Scotsman ★★★★
“Earnest and attractive... striking originality"
– RnR Magazine ★★★★
“Absolutely beautiful... the three of them together make an absolutely wonderful sound..."
– Mike Harding
“The Wilderness Yet hits the mark of A grade folk and its dutiful nod to tradition and scope re-enforces the notion of music as both respectful and reactionary. A body of work defined by its beauty.”
– Three Chords And The Truth
“This trio has it all... bright new music & fresh interpretations of old songs... a title track worthy of the Voice Squad... a delightful album.”
– Irish Music Magazine
“A breathtaking celebration of nature and traditional music... This album is one of the finest folk recordings released this year..."
– From The Margins
“What a glorious sound – a fabulous new CD... fantastic musicianship... Some of the newly written songs sound as if they’ve been around for decades.”
– Tim Walker, BBC Radio Lincolnshire
“Their love for traditional folk music runs deeply throughout the album and their modern interpretations are a refreshing joy to behold."

“Assurance that tradition and vision are in safe hands" – FATEA
“A veritable soundtrack to accompany our reconnection with nature in peculiar times... The Wilderness Yet demonstrates once again that folk song continues to have much to say in our ever changing times."
“There’s something decidedly assured about The Wilderness Yet, both in the trio’s instrumental prowess and in their confident vocal delivery." – Northern Sky
“... precisely observed, poetic, nature-centric songwriting... everything you could ask for in a debut album... remarkable instrumentals, perfect a cappella harmony singing, a firm sense of tradition... strong, thoughtful, memorable original songs which will have you double-checking whether it's an outstanding new song or a traditional gem you have somehow missed..."
– Tyke Stirrings Magazine
“This is a fine debut album which grew on me with every listening. The songs are fresh and absorbing and the musicianship of the highest order... Highly recommended.” – Essex Folk News
“A timely and thoughtful musical reflection on everything it means to be human, a reflection that, in addition to being timely, is extremely beautiful in form: three musicians who know their trade, elegant arrangements and a work of vocal harmonies well above the usual." – C3lt4trad
“It is a cracker... they're extremely talented... beautiful music... I'm very taken with The Wilderness Yet."
– Genevieve Tudor, BBC Radio Shropshire

“Tout cool, donc!" – Le Canard Folk
“Wonderful" – BBC Radio Cambridgeshire
“...beautiful, rich and soft-toned. There's a great fluidity and much inventiveness throughout the album; floating verses appropriated here, interesting adaptions and tune pairings there. The whole thing has a refreshing dynamic quality. A very absorbing and inspiring first album. Let's hope there will be many more to come!"
