    Pine is deft with a bow. She’s also a skilled arranger, layering violin, viola, cello, and bass elements with a photographer’s eye; the depth of field expands and contracts as each piece unfurls.

    "Butterfly Lands on a Flower," the soft, synthy final piece, sounds appropriately delicate and graceful, making a gentle comedown for an album that sometimes lays its emotions bare.

    It would make a perfect soundtrack to traversing chilly landscapes, but an emotional current runs through Fables that elevates it beyond mere background music. [Mar 2026, p.36]
