Swallowtail (album)

[1][2] On recording in Point Lonsdale, Anderson said "It was a big change of vibe and scenery, to be out of the city and on the coast with no distraction and to be working with an engineer (and avid surfer) who is attuned to the cycles of tides and sunrises and sunsets and ocean rhythms.

"[5] Stereogum's described it as feeling "like structure manifesting from a void, formless space",[4] and KLOF Magazine's Alex Gallacher called it "a gorgeous ten-and-a-half-minute slow-burner that could suggestively fire the imagination with visions of flight or a long perambulation.

"[6] He called "Peregrine" the "key track", with its ten minute runtime giving it "plenty of time to establish itself [which it does] with sparse playing, Anderson picking lines at leisure, creating cyclical clusters of mesmerising notes that White's drums dance around in places, step away from in others and then return to with more fire.

"[8] NPR Music's Lars Gotrich wrote that on the album, the duo "deepen [their] telepathic collaboration", with "their circular improvisations like a spinning top that wobbles but never topples.

[10] Treble's Jeff Terich called the album "consistently breathtaking" and "a gorgeous showcase for what two phenomenal and imaginative players can do together, crafting improvised pieces that range from the stormy to sedate.
