REVIEWS:

"...there is something sepia tinged about the music contained herein, it is from another time (or perhaps exists outside of time). It has a curiously English melancholy and haunted soul quite out of step with the modern world and pleasingly so; this album is an escape, a portal into a Cornish landscape that contains folklore, doomed and dark romance and a genuine sense of wonder. It is a delight that music of this type and calibre is being released today quite removed and distinct from the mass produced and homogeneous world of Spotify or iTunes. " Grey Malkin, The Active Listener (full review: http://active-listener.blogspot.co.nz/2014/11/album-review-emily-jones-autumn-eye.html )

"Her roots go...through that line of literary Englishness that reads and regards Radcliffe as breathlessly as it relives Daphne DuMaurier (whose mark is here, in all its coastal Cornish starkness), a sure-footed romanticism that knows the precise path through the marshes, and the most economical way between tor and tumulus, but understands, too, when to pause for breath. Or to freeze for dramatic effect." Dave Thompson, Goldmine Magazine (full review: http://www.goldminemag.com/features/emily-jones-opens-autumn-eye )

"Out of time in a fuzzy land both familiar and strange, gentle melodies enchant like Laudanum, cutting me free from these worldly chains. This is musick (with a ‘k’) of the earth, her roots sprawling under spiced soil, reaching deep into the nourishing moisture of creation and invisibly, through thick air, absorbed through flesh, saturating the organs, possessing the soul." Eliza Muddle, Collapse Board (full review: http://www.collapseboard.com/reviews/albums-reviews/emily-jones-autumn-eye-owltextures/ )

"...a terrific collection of seven songs. I'm a sucker for a good handmade CD package, and this is a beauty: metallic paper, recycled card, and a real leaf on the front. Very nice! The music is haunting...This is a really good album by somebody who could go far. Fans of alt-folk or English bucolica should check out this lovely music. Highly recommended!" Steve Palmer, Terrascope (full review: http://www.terrascope.co.uk/Reviews/Rumbles_March_15.htm )

"Emily Jones deals in a very personalized brand of (mostly) acoustic wyrd folk, painted with references to natural landscapes that hold a bewitching allure for her. Like a child full of wonder exploring the surroundings of a country house, she discovers what the cynical ‘grown-ups’ are unable to see or understand. Ghosts, fairies, sprites, stories and people from the past lingering on to the realm of the living. The sun reflecting on green leaves, the outlines of a forest seen through mist, moonlight piercing through a clearing. The sounds of small animals and insects hiding around you. The excitement of exploring a new environment all alone. A whole new world beneath the surface of the visible. Given in a magical way, full of context and background, with an efficiency that makes quick business of grasping your imagination, as well as your attention." MS, Santa Sangre Magazine (full review and interview here: https://santasangremagazine.wordpress.com/2015/03/01/the-secret-garden-i-staggered-blearily-outside-in-my-nightgown-for-a-cigarette-and-watched-the-sun-rise-emily-jones/ )

"...It starts off with the self-explanatory Dark Moss And Coldheart. From the title up, this is a thing of noir. Imagine, if your psyche can take it, Nico soundtracking The Wicker Man. Or a female take on the late Gravenhurst's eldritch folk. Its morass of sound is something to behold; like a fairground on fire...This is a wondrous collection of imaginative songs, completely out of step with what is going on musically right now. Which is why you should buy it." Lee Trewhela, West Briton (full review: http://www.westbriton.co.uk/Emily-play/story-25853503-detail/story.html )

"It's a beautiful, gold-cradled, hand-finished product, with glistening leaf attached to sleeve and full lyrics enclosed on insert; while the music within fairly glistens and glows too, with all the aura of autumn and its special seasonal colourings. The soundscape is for much of the time mightily dense and cluttered, although not unattractively so - the effect of listening to opening song Dark Moss And Coldheart is rather like wading through a thick ground-bed of fallen leaves amidst a woodland path walk." David Kidman, Fatea (full review: http://www.fatea-records.co.uk/magazine/2015/EmilyJones.html )

"...seven songs of wide-eyed, open-hearted avant-folk-pop, with a dreamlike feel, and some unsettling moments (‘Hermegant and Maladine’ in particular)...It’s music that lulls you, and then gives you a kick just as you’re settling into its dreamscape; a very pleasant and rewarding piece of contemporary psychedelia." Oliver Arditi (more here: http://oliverarditi.com/2015/03/01/various-artists-singles-and-eps-028/ )

Here are some things to listen to. If you like that sort of thing. Listening to things like this, that is.

I hope you do like that.

They are no better than they ought to be.
