Apr 12, 2016As a whole, Love Letter for Fire is the sonic equivalent of sitting in front of a campfire on the starry night with a couple of close friends strumming their acoustic guitar; it’s bucolic, simple, and guaranteed to delight.
-
Apr 14, 2016Love Letter for Fire sounds like Beam and Hoop were born to work together. The yin and yang of their individual perspectives fit together marvelously, and this rests comfortably with the best of both their recorded works.
-
May 3, 2016Like most of the album, “Soft Place to Land” is precise in language, but not in meaning. The album’s songwriting strength lies primarily in this sort of poesy, as effective as it is understated, and resisting paraphrase.
-
Apr 15, 2016It’s Beam and Hoop who manage to remain the focus of the proceedings, giving the album its low-key lustre. We can only hope that there will be another volume of similarly cerebral hymns to follow.
-
Apr 15, 2016The result is an album that pays proper respect to some of the classic duets Beam grew up loving while also hinting at a promising partnership between he and Hoop.
-
Apr 28, 2016This is a very strong album about love, written by two people who aren’t in love.
