Hand numbered 7" vinyl limited to 500 copies
see the artists page for a review of this release
"A worthy one....he is closest to such modernists as Will Oldham and Samuel Beam" - Byron Coley, The Wire magazine
"'she waits by the shore' - a fragile and mellowing fusion of subtle electronics and rustic ambles that appears to be descended from the mayday pageantry of Wicker Man land and gently coaxed and distilled into a free spirited rural malt - quite excellent if you ask me." - The Sunday Experience
"There must be something in the water up there in Scotland as this gentle little tune ('She Waits..') will probably appeal to those of you that dig stuff on the Fence label, King Creosote, James Yorkston etc. A fine single from Autumn Ferment records." - Norman Records
"Imagine a sea-shanty Tunng and you'll be half-way there! Excellent stuff!! " Record of the week, Piccadilly Records

"Lovely stuff" -Is This Music?

...such a fine, fine, grand, wonderful, humorous, comforting album.... Autumn Ferment have done it again in sharing with the world another fantastically original folk artist."

"Enchanting doesn't begin to cover it....eloquent yet eerie. Buy on Sight."
