Seán Ó Duibhir A' Ghleanna (bonus) 03:15 From the great whales of the deep to the old oaks of the land, the future of the natural world is now inextricably bound to that of mankind and many of the songs we are attracted to, or attracted to crafting, explore the relationship between humanity and nature. The human compulsion to conquer and collect the natural world has come at an untold price, to the detriment of almost every species on Earth. Yet, for all our destructiveness we also capture nature in our art, music & song. One of our most natural compulsions as a species – that noise-making as organic as birdsong – has become not only a vehicle for feelings, but also for ideas... In this time of disconnection from each other and our environment, we hope this collection of songs and tunes will stand as our contribution to that great connecting force and tradition – folk music.

“Absolutely beautiful... the three of them together make an absolutely wonderful sound..." – Mike Harding
“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 “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 ★★★★ “Beautiful musicianship & singing” – Ruth Smith, RTÉ Radio 1 “Simply exquisite" – Tom Robinson, BBC Radio 6 Music “Brilliant stuff from The Wilderness Yet" – BBC Introducing “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 “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 “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 “A trio who’ve packed plenty of experiences into their years, their debut ticks all the boxes...these three have a deep understanding of the tradition" – At The Barrier |
