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."

“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."

“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 ★★★★

– 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

– Irish Music Magazine
“A breathtaking celebration of nature and traditional music... This album is one of the finest folk recordings released this year..."

“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

“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!"
