about

Fern Knight Washington D.C., D.C.

Fern Knight weaves an uncommon sound from far-flung musical roots. Under classically trained cellist/guitarist/vocalist Margaret Ayre's unwavering direction, this DC quartet continues to gracefully color her tightly arranged, smartly produced songs with echos of British folk leanings in the manner of The Strawbs, Sourdeline's trad-folk and old-school riffage in the vein of cult-rockers Asgard. ... more

Excellent medieval folk, IGR, & those with ears to hear. I love the sense of mysticism and deep, introspective ponder this album conveys, & the honest down-to-earth folky lyrics. Simply wonderful yet soulfully rich. Highlights for me are tracks 2, 5, 6, & 12. IGR truly capture what I feel is an authentic sense of a medieval bard at a woodland rill pondering the mysteries of life. Highly recommended. 8.5+/10. Alrihkh

This is not an album I think of as a collection of individual songs, but rather one whole unified bliss... but, Cipher's is that mid album perfection w/ it's lull and crescendo... an absolute classic in the very upper realm of all things dreamy. Michael Anderson
