Ari's music is very personal and all at once organic. It's written out of observation and feelings. It's delivered through a raw, personal sense of self. It's acoustics for everybody, but there are doorways throughout where everybody can get in and access what's going on. There is a weight of intelligence and poetry within that carries its sense of self that supersedes the flaws of the recording's honesty. It celebrates the experimentations of voice, guitar, cello, violin, African percussion, accordion and piano. It's fun and relevant, but traditional and peaceful. It's modern and yet dusty and reminiscent.

"Ari Neufeld is an experience. A breathing instrument, and a fearless, energetic performer (although I get the distinct feeling that he’s not “performing” but living.) He brought with him 3 other musicians. A Cello player, a singer(his brother I think), and an accordion player. Together they are an extraordinary folk machine."
