We could just sit and watch for a while." -URB"The album teems with languorous oases where melodicas softly hum and lattices of acoustic guitars strum as waves gently crash outside seaside cabin windows. In Old City Crowd, bells tinkle and woodwinds moan, while the smoky exhalation of a tenor sax lazily rises from a supple bed of tropical clicks, string plucks, and the droning whine of crickets in A Ballet of Hands. So meditative it verges on somnambulant, time seems to stand still during Dawn Chorus. Evidence of the material's electronic construction is downplayed though the multi-layered density of pieces like The Echo's Left Behind renders the fact obvious, as does the generally looped character of the material. In fact, the entrancing effect induced by loop-heavy settings like Among the Olive Trees and Beneath This Stone Wall likens them to Kompakt's Pop Ambient style. The closing piece, Midnight, develops more conventionally, intensifying dramatically as it builds towards its somber close, and consequently leaves a stronger impression. Words like melancholy, placid, lonely, bucolic, and dreamy come to mind when listening to the hour-long set. The album is a model of contradictions: its music breathes with an outward-reaching expansiveness and warmth yet was assembled from sound files traded by creators living at opposite ends of the globe. Imagining the album's ten pieces emanating from laptops in formal concert hall seems not just incongruous but wrong; music of such human presence seems better tailored for an intimate club where listeners, their bodies wet with summer sweat, mingle freely and close in on the musicians in order to discreetly study their fingerings up close. " - TexturaFyris Swan is a distinctly cinematic affair. The pair conjure the most delicate and wistful of acoustic-electronic landscapes. At times there’s only the most spartan of sonic elements at work and the whole album seems to be held together by the slightest of gestures and the lightest of touches, but all this understatement makes for an incredibly atmospheric, memorable album. ‘Coastal Road Thoughts’ is an especially blissful drift through gentle drones, incidental chimes and buried voices, whilst ‘A Ballet Of Hands’ is reminiscent in feel to the unearthly haze of Arve Henriksen’s Chiaroscuro album. Recommended. - BoomKat.comThe spirit of avante-garde music is brought to life in the seeping, slow building string led stroll of ‘Her Face Soft As Sleep’. This could easily accompany the walk of a lonely person across a windy and isolated beach in a weepy, nostalgic 70s film. The seven minute melting slow jazz feel given to ‘Old City Crowd’, provides for reflection and some morose mood setting, displaying craft to show that this non-vocal pair can convey moods and emotions far better than four dictionaries worth of words. - Glasswerk.co.uk"A looming tapestry of undulating post-rockian, free-jazz tinged, minutiae detailing, electro-acoustic brilliance, Fyris Swans chest tugging magnanimous magnitude is a striking testament to the role of time, space and technology in composition... each pluck and bowed and processed sound builds over an hour culminating in the perfectly realized Midnight ; one gorgeously elegant swan taking flight." -XLR8R
