‘Gorgeous strings build from a whisper – the arrangements are superlative’. – ★★★★ Record Collector
‘sumptuous, romantic strings, arranged by Pete Harvey, recorded by a ten-piece ensemble in a castle and threaded through Black River Promise like a noble, mournful chorus behind Campbell’s yearning voice’. – ★★★★ The Scotsman
‘masterful string playing and arranging’. – ★★★★ The List
‘[a] taste too of the Pumpkinseeds, the ten-piece string ensemble led by cellist, composer and Edinburgh scene Zelig, Pete Harvey. His arrangements embellish Campbell’s stark confessionals with a breadth and depth that brings them sensitively to life with a roaring empathy’. – Product Magazine
