Critical acclaim for Don’t Weigh Down the Light, released Summer 2015 on Wichita Recordings:
“The once and future queen of psych-folk returns… Baird’s music remains gorgeous, harbouring a kind of still magic.”
Uncut – 8/10
“A transfusion of gorgeous, non-stop melody that rustles the air like an Appalachian mountain breeze… All 11 tracks are evocative and addictive. This is a diamond without a flaw.”
Record Collector – 5 Stars *****
“Stepping into Meg Baird’s world is like being lost in a medieval forest, a surreal place where anciant English ballads are sweetened and deepened with Appalachian mountain dulcimer and Laurel Canyon guitar.”
MOJO – 4 Stars ****
“Her third album is bound to send folk lovers drifting deep into mystic this summer… A tie-dyed treat.”
The Telegraph – 4 Stars****
“A lusher and more expansive affair than either of its two predecessors… Gorgeous opener ‘Counterfeiters’ sets a high bar which Baird effortlessly matches time and again such as on the exquisite ‘I Don’t Mind’ and ‘Back To You’… This is a strong affirmation of the Baird songcraft that has been well worth the wait.”
Shindig – 4 Stars ****
“A beautifully emotive listen, steeped in convention whilst eliciting a contemporary narrative and tone.”
DIY – 4 Stars ****
“On the surface it may be a gentle and breathy piece of Sandy Denny inspired folk, but throughout its eleven tracks there’s a more electric (and more eclectic) underbelly. Snaking guitar solos abound in the style of Kurt Vile, while elsewhere a laid back, Real Estate dreaminess breezes through the more typical folk influences… Simple in its beauty, but with much to rediscover on subsequent listens.”
Loud & Quiet – 8/10
“Delicate finger-picking nuzzles fuzzy guitar solos like prime Pentangle, while Baird’s voice, high and crystalline, sounds as if it’s coming from deep in a forest.”
NME – 7/10
“Baird is on fantastic form with songs that kiss folk’s touchstones – Nick Drake, Sandy Denny, Shirley Collins – and twist themselves around an idea… Soul-searching stuff.”
Monocle
“There are exquisite things here – the Marquee Moon untethering of Back To You and the finely calibrated whirl of Good Directions…”
Q – 3 Stars ***
“Calm and atmospheric, Baird’s light, almost impressionistic style augmented by additional guitars and a little unobtrusive percussion,”
The Observer
“Baird’s mixture of history-steeped elements keeps her songs from being tethered to any given time period, which makes them apt vehicles for words about relationships fraught with uncertainty.”
