“This is a truly remarkable record, and one to fill the silences of the night with.” - Seuras Og
“Their lilting duets have a hypnotic effect ” - John O'Brien
“This is a deeply personal and ethereal journey through folk melodies and striking vocal harmonies. Their incredible and almost meditative pacing tells of heartache and letting go across almost 40 minutes of entrancing lyrical storytelling.”
“The songs and timeless melodies that you hear in a Charm of Finches performance, or in their recordings, are perhaps the nicest and sweetest sounds you will hear in a week, or a year...Incredibly young with beautiful voices and original, thought provoking song writing, COF are blowing audiences away wherever they play... Sensational and inspiring music is a wonderful thing and COF are indeed both.”
“The sisters, who create otherworldly folk compositions drenched in poetic bliss and ancient wisdom, are also known for their symbolic and enchanting Victorian meets storybook aesthetic that never ceases to dull the senses” - Victoria Polsely
— Earmilk
“The harmonies from Charm of Finches are worth their own post, feature, and round of applause. Then, in addition to the glorious vocals, the rest of the track has this mysterious “wild west” meets a mystery novel… the vibes are absolutely remarkable. I don’t know the entire story behind the mystical sound this band creates, but I am here for the atmosphere that it creates. If you’re looking for folk music that doesn’t sound like every other hand-clappy good time band out there, check out Charm of Finches esoteric-yet-endearing aesthetic. They are delightful.”
“The duo of sisters Mabel and Ivy Windred-Wornes continue their fascinating exploration of evocative and ethereal folk music. The new single is propelled by a rhythmic pitter-patter, baroque sensibilities via strings, horns and piano with the sisters’ beautiful harmonies soaring in effortless flight above the music.” - on Concentrate On Breathing
