Some might find the work's almost wilful-seeming opacity and slight whiff of academia off-putting. Judged on purely musical terms, however, it's a ting of great beauty. [Apr 2017, p.90]- Mojo

This third outing developed a gnarly carpe diem edge. [Mar 2017, p.94]- Mojo

Parlay music that while irrefutably folk, gleefully shoves aside traditionalist tropes in favour of a buoyant, full-bodied combo sound, that, passingly, recalls prime Fairport Convention while proffering a beguilingly mellifluous identity of its own. [Apr 2017, p.98]- Mojo

Trimming, paring and refocusing has made Frontier Ruckus a far more enticing package, and if Milia isn't quite in the league of similar writers such at The Decemberists' Colin Meloy, he's catching up fast. [Mar 2017, p.93]- Mojo
