    The group, now a trio with the addition of bassist/banjoist Michael DeVito, have never blended their various interests so seamlessly and effectively. [Jul 2026, p.54]

    Heavy Water is, then, a spring and summer record with a powerful message about the inexorability of both natural processes and the forces unleashed by the human drive to dominate nature and other people. Kudos to Magic Tuber Stringband for consistently engaging both the head and the heart with their music.

    Extraordinarily skilled composers and improvisers, the Stringband’s playing and choices are impeccable throughout, but it’s their deep knowledge of folk music traditions – and the way the trio both subverts and reinforces those traditions – that really gives this music its shape.
