Some Press:
Sprawling echo-laden songs that are delivered with whispery, breathy vocals and slowly turning guitar arpeggios. "Two Plainclothes Cops" is a cryptic, faintly psychedelic reverie with sparse, crumbling chords, while the piano-stoked "Georgia May" is sweetly ethereal. There's a Western grandeur to the austere jangle of "Kodachrome Wolves," and Josh Kasselman's fragile, feathery vocals swim in and out of the watery '60s pop of "Locked Out and Wandering."
-Falling James, The L.A. Weekly
Some of the world's most unique and gifted artists seem to always get lost in the currents ...listening to On Disappearing is like looking into mirrors at a carnival or gazing through a kaleidoscope. There's a lot more going on here than first meets the ears. The more we spin this album, the more absorbing it becomes... This will easily end up being one of our favorite releases for 2008. Highly recommended. (Rating: 5++++)
-BabySue/LMNOP
Following the eloquent and exceptional debut EP Man and the Cousin, The Harpeth Trace has released a gem of haunting folk and psychedelia. With On Disappearing they have created a masterpiece that flows and works its magic from track to track --- the way an album was meant to be listened to.

Sounds like it coulda been recorded in 1968 or 2010 -- it's that timeless.
-The Tucson Weekly
Their dreamy pop is timeless—not to say it fits comfortably in any time, but rather their desert folk songs seem to wander detached from time in a sort of psychedelic limbo. Josh Kasselman’s guitar chimes and vintage Brit-pop vocals provide the more summery feel, while underneath it—digging its heels in like a kid on the first day of school—swirls Rob Poynter’s brushed, arrhythmic drums, Barry Poage’s sluggy bass and some warped percussive piano.
-The L.A. Alternative Press
Hauntingly beautiful -- an air of honky-tonk melancholy.
