"This is the debut recording by Danish composer and drummer Hyllested – and what a debut it is. Darling River comes over as a deeply meditative seven-piece suite, mixing composition, improvisation and electronic sound processing to altogether mesmeric effect. It’s a most gentle, yet questing and extremely courageous record: hence the five stars...Think early Paul Bley and Loren Connors – or Anton Webern and Gavin Bryars – and you'll have an idea of the overall slo-mo ethos here, the way the music fashions its minimalist, nuanced melodic arcs with the utmost ad libitum patience and poetic precision" - Michael Tucker
With its striking, brightly crafted, fluid and open compositions, served by pin-point musicianship all round, The Buoy And The Sea is the kind of release that you want to play again, the very second the music has stopped. Music of a high order, this, and as such, totally recommended. - Michael Tucker
