Jay Hammond is a musician, sound artist, and cultural anthropologist. Described in The Guardian as "delicately played modern Americana. .... starts as a simple folk song to fingerpicked guitar before mutating into a shimmering homage to nature, with Rhodes piano and pedal steel creating a pulsing, imminent atmosphere. Will Stratton is an American songwriter living in New York's Hudson Valley. His eighth album, Points of Origin, comes out March 7th on Bella Union. An understated delight, Will Stratton's sixth album is beautifully written, beautifully played, and beautifully arranged, its gorgeous, cosseting sound masking a series of deeply uneasy songs in which even the most personal moments feel tainted by paranoia brought on by global events. - Alexis Petridis, The Guardian's Best Albums of 2021 So Far
