'A fog of memories caught in the sunflakes settling in the forest a beautiful album indeed Many glittering gems are woven into these tunes but one listen is not enough to see them all Like trying to appreciate the silver strobing of ocean waves they are different every time you glance at them Better to watch their reflections on the ceiling and just soak it up 'It seems kind of rare that an album can create and sustain a mood not to mention such an odd and unique vibe as this A singsong tale of a long surreal journey through canopied pathways tunnels and spiraling downwards through the earth's mawfalling falling falling and suddenly you wake in your bed Homegrown in aesthetic Mirror Woods is a quilt of hues The colors albeit gorgeous are crossprocessed like a polaroid of a cathedral's most glorious stained glass window off slightly sour but just dripping with pop sentiment This is not an experimental album for young chinscratchers only this is a pop record for anyone with a heart this is a homage to love to friends and family to droll existence Hold up a torch to the dark make a spark 'Think United States of America meets Vangelis meets July meets Silver Apples in Arthur Russell's New York apartment what a family band portrait that would be'A  John Dwyer Thee Oh Sees Castleface Records
