Good example of why I like your music. Never frightened to adapt a traditional piece and to breathe new life into it, without taking away from the essence of the original. Inventive to the point of sheer brilliance! Long may it continue! renteddrumkit

The album is bookended by its two strongest songs, but everything in between is solid as well. Gil Brenton is a fantastic marriage of British folk and rock music. Full review here: https://theeliteextremophile.com/2026/05/25/album-review-the-magpie-arc-gil-brenton/ TheEliteExtremophile
