“We need more music like this; spontaneous, alive and affecting,” wrote FRUK of The HAAR who have also earned praised for their radically fresh, boundary-pushing take on traditional songs. 

“This is not a dyed-green-Guinness-and-a-bit-o’-craic Ireland, this is the coast of Connemara Ireland, watching the fog roll in around The Skellig Islands Ireland… devastatingly beautiful,” wrote Bristol 24/7.
