“THE BARNETT TWINS HAVE BEEN PLAYING A SCORE FOR TWENTY YEARS THAT HAS NO EQUAL. AND WHICH THEY FURTHERMORE BURN WITH EACH ALBUM TO REWRITE THE RULES AND RESHAPE THE SONIC ORDER.
IF THE PREVIOUS ALBUM, INSIDE THE ROSE, RELEASED SIX YEARS AGO, ENDED WITH AN ANGEL’S VOICE, EXACTLY AS CROOKED WING BEGINS, THE DUO THIS TIME… OPEN UP A NEW SENSORY FIELD THAT BELONGS ONLY TO THEM.
AN ALBUM DEEPLY INHABITED BY SOME KIND OF DARKNESS, VIBRATING WITH A STRANGE DISQUIET BENEATH IT’S BEAUTIFUL EXTERIOR”
CHRISTOPHE CONTE
LIBERATION
“A STAGGERING PIECE OF WORK, IT PULSES AND SHUDDERS IN APOCALYPTIC VISION…
THIS IS AVANT-GUARDE MUSIC AND IF YOU DON’T WANT A BIT OF A CHALLENGE THEN JUST GO EAT WHATEVER THE SPOTIFY ALGORITHM SPOONFEEDS YOU.
CROOKED WING IS A FRAGILE, BEAUTIFUL RECORD, WHEN NOT BEING CHILLINGLY BRUTAL”
MARTIN ROBINSON
THE STANDARD
“SONGS THAT SHIMMER AND POUND LIKE A MEETING BETWEEN HEAVEN AND EARTH… THIS RICHLY CONFIGURED ALBUM REWARDS ATTENTION”
LUDOVIC HUNTER-TILNEY
THE FINANCIAL TIMES
“ROMANTICS IN EVERY SENSE OF THE WORD, THEY SOUND SO OF THIS TIME, BUT ENTIRELY OUT OF IT. IN THE DRUDGING PREDICTABILITY OF OUR ALGORITHM AND TREND-DRIVEN AGE, THIS IS A BOLD PLACE FOR ARTISTS WORKING TO MANIPULATE AND CONJURE WITH THE TRADITIONAL ROCK AND POP PARADIGMS TO BE.
ANOTHER MASTERPIECE FROM THIS MOST SINGULAR OF GROUPS”
LUKE TURNER
THE QUIETUS
“BETWEEN THE CLAMOUR OF WAR AND DESIRE FOR SALVATION… A BEAUTIFUL ALBUM BETWEEN MARTIAL TENSION AND CELESTIAL ASCENSION”
