    This is an LP that is immediately, ingratiatingly appealing while still having significant depths to plumb. It is one of the prettiest things you’re likely to hear all year, but also one of the most edifying.

    The result is a dreamy potion of cascading stringwork and ethereal song, a soothing, otherworldly balm, grounded in ancient tradition but partly inspired by modern tragedy, as the album title suggests. [Mar 2026, p.53]

    In the end, Tragic Magic isn’t ambient as background; it’s ambient as ascent. It charts a movement from reverence to release and turns grief into something weightless and shared.
