www.theguardian.com/music/2021/may/14/future-folk-friendly-faces-different-spaces-review
"Portuguese label The Slow Music Movement rounded up 13 songs by artists (some already Petal Motel faves, some soon to be Petal Motel faves) to make songs that explore their respective folk roots but simultaneously look ahead and incorporate fresh, musical innovations to carve out the Future of Folk.
Longtime Petal Motel favorite The Howard Hughes Suite teamed up with Geir Sundstøl to create this illuminated first single from the compilation. tHHS’s thoughtful guitalele picking pairs seamlessly with Sundstøl’s expansive, atmospheric pedal steel playing to ensure listeners that folk indeed has a bright and promising future."
