Carolyn Hanson Eric has always had a way of moving my soul. I discovered Raised by Swans when I was 14. I am almost 28 now. So for almost half my life, Raised by Swans has been with me, helping me through some extremely tough years.

As time went on and I was waiting for new music, I began to fear that when new music came it wouldn't touch me the same way, I was wrong. This album is a testament to Eric's incredible artistry.

Eric, you saved me once again with this album. Thank you. Favorite track: star shells.

miranda_aileen A friend in Sweden gifted me “no ghostless place” in 2017. There was something about the music that dug deep into my soul in some raw, insistent but gentle way. I’ve not heard anything else quite like it. With this album I once again feel the same tug and pull at the heartstrings. I can’t wait to hear the whole thing on release. I hope my support buys a banana or two. My heart thanks you!

Michael Zielinski Loving the new album, blessed as always by anything new that can help me in my own existence. A deep connection on almost all your songs Eric. Thank you as I know it's so hard to get to this point. Hope to see you sometime Down Under.❤️

Ivo Iliev Yet another amazing album, it's like a magical journey with so much to explore. Thank you for sharing your art with us!!

This is very dreamy faerie electronica with hypnotic beats and a haunting female vocalist. In addition to the synthesizers, there is violin coursing through many of the pieces, adding to the general melancholy. This music not only feels cinematic, but is, as there is a connected media project on YT called “The Kin Fables,” utilizing these compositions. The story is one of reincarnation and the return of everything that has been lost.The music throughout is otherworldly, eerie, and addictive. Nickie Harte Kelly
