“Like Béla Fleck’s non-bluegrass work, Sprig of That’s sound harks back to pioneering ’70s progressive folk groups like Oregon as well as The Kronos Quartet. The trio synthesizes various styles in service of music that... honors melody as much as it does the shifting rhythms and deep harmonic structures they’re adept at creating.”
“Sprig of That is cultivating a genre-jumping string sound with violin, guitar, and tabla. The young band is exploring new tonal terrain.”
“There’s a striking and dazzling power in the rhythms and the melodies of the music by Sprig of That. “Kirenaka” is a sample of their thoughtful and evolved playing, with strong violin melodies and weaving guitar resounding over driving and entrancing rhythms on the tabla. ”
“The unique trio is a breath of fresh air, and ‘Riversong’ is the latest example of their instrumental mastery.”
“Sprig of That combines folk, Western classical, and world rhythmic influences into fresh acoustic performances.”
