“Unearthing No Crows is like discovering music for the very first time.  ‘Magpie’ and the music of No Crows in general might aptly be described as cinematic, for it conjures a veritable array of images, flickering lights and furtive shadows. ‘Magpie’ bleeds with creative brilliance and No Crows transport us to an almost Dickensian world of musical grandeur.  The music of No Crows soars high on an ethereal sky buoyed up on the wings of Steve Wickham’s tempestuous fiddle playing.  The four members of No Crows have the calibre of classically-trained musicians.  The album ‘Magpie’ has a distinctively Hermannesque feel.  No Crows in full flight bring to mind the best of Ennio Morricone, the ‘Godfather’ of film music, and several great scores of recent times, including Johnny Greenwood’s exceptional and unsettling work for There Will Be Blood and Nick Cave’s masterful scoring of The Assassination of Jesse James by The Coward Robert Ford (especially the latter). This is high concept stuff, full of texture and nuance, that brings you on a mind–expanding musical journey across oceans and continents. Magpie’ is a deeply layered, handsomely mounted, richly textured album of oceanic depth and dazzling musical range.  A collection of expertly arranged and lovingly recorded world music.” – Marty McCool Music Reviews
