Excerpt: "In the same way that any new release from kranky and n5MD guarantees a recording of high quality, anything coming from the Hidden Shoal camp is likewise to be music of a high calibre. And so it is that its latest roster addition, Apricot Rail, delivers an album of exceptionally full-bodied 'instrumental rock'... the Australian quintet knows what it takes to make a strong impression—passionate playing, compositional smarts, arresting arrangements, and a knack for catchy melodies—all of which the band delivers on its self-titled, fifty-minute debut... If multi-hued post-rock packed with chiming guitars and beautified with woodwinds and horns is your thing, Apricot Rail's debut collection is definitely worth a closer look."
