    Ghedi expertly shapes traditional tunes, covers and dazzling originals into a deeply personal vision. [Feb 2025, p.35]

    Bruised yet defiant, fierce yet elegiac, Wasteland deserves to be counted amongst the genuine masterpieces to have emerged from the ongoing folk renaissance.

    These songs come on strong, and if you’re not in the mood may seem to push a bit too hard. But when was too much ever a bad thing? The best way to interact with Wasteland is to let its music roll in like a tidal surge and sweep you under, coming up gasping when it’s done.

    Focusing at times on loss and life's cruelty, the tone is often sombre though always dignified. [Aug 2025, p.103]
