about

"This is the sound of musicians listening to one another, dreaming in real time." – Aquarium Drunkard

"Grade-A cosmic twang." – Bandcamp 'Best Country Music of March'

"Aux Meadows rustle up some fine open sky sounds that owe as much to Brian Eno as to Dylan’s 'Pat Garrett & Billy the Kid' soundtrack." – Jeff Conklin

"Great work which plays right at the limits of expression and chops, never showy but not content to settle, as dust in the outdoors never does." – Heathen Disco / Doug Mosurock

"If Neu! scored a Sam Peckinpah film." – Record Crates United

"The band finds beauty amid the dryness and the desolation, an oasis anchored in parking lot corners." – Raven Sings the Blues

"'Draw Near' continues their outsider vision of Americana... a mighty fine slice of contemplative cosmic country." – The Slow Music Movement

"Across eleven songs, the trio refines its ability to conjure landscapes with sound." – The Third Eye
