"Looking
as though he has just stepped out from an early nineties warehouse
rave, Mr Arborise is clearly a man of disguise. But never judge
a book by its cover, because this novel is well worth a read and
has been researched to its fullest, looking at the book of olde,
his finger picking styles and lush vocal harmonies make this a
modern folk classic...This will make both artist and producer
stand out from the rest of the folk ditties knocking around these
days." HOODLUM TRIBE
"Expert in creating whole new levels of 'sombre.' "
ACOUSTIC
"Arborise has combined intricate guitar playing with songs
memorable enough to sing around a campfire." RECORD COLLECTOR

"Quite simply, this album is revelatory & won't be straying far from my stereo for quite some time.... a definite candidate for my album of the year so far" 8/10 THE MUSIC FIX
"Inventive and mercurial...a quiet gem" 4/5 UNCUT
"Ethereal, absorbing and unwaveringly charming....enchanting" BEARDED
"Each Arborise song is a broad canvas, most taking five or more minutes to set the scene and work their magic....spinning a dreamy, ruminative yarn that drifts away in a haze of weightless guitar lines.....Evocative and often strangely moving, it provides a neat twist on the singer-songwriter discipline" 4/5 MUSICOHM
"Of Tide & Trail should be an album that everybody quotes as legendary and nothing less."
5/5 GODISINTHETV
"The woozy drone of one man and his guitar may not seem like anything particularly noteworthy, but this is a hugely atmospheric record that’s gently beguiling, with picked acoustic guitar layered to create ambient swathes of sound that engage the head and melt the heart."
7/10 CLASH
"His songs have a grandeur to match the universality of the lyrical subject matter, which is no mean feat...Elemental" 4/5 GUITARIST
"Dan Arborise will drop your jaw with his intricate guitar lines. Then, his voice will bewitch you. Quite how Arborise constructs such a thing, let alone play it, is beyond mortal ken... a little genius and a lot of soul" THE405
"Organic and infused with positivity...A holistic listening experience" 4.5/5 SUBBACULTCHA

"There's talent here." THE HERALD

different level. He didn't get far before being called for an
encore and we were treated to one more mellifluous track before
the waft of crowd dissipated contentedly into the cold night air."
