"A genuinely inspiring work" R2 Magazine - review of The Wren And The Salt Air
"A representative of avant-garde folk music in which the lines between music, scientific observation and aesthetics blur, rendering categorisation inconsequential." London Folk Review
"Combining found sounds and a musical ethereality to create a wholly unique experience and atmosphere... quality music from a master of the craft" At The Barrier
"The EP is revelatory. Sturgeon's canvases depict a place that, while uninhabited by permanent residents, is home to a fauna of uttermost isolation. David Attenborough would probably approve on several musical and natural history counts, not least because The Wren And The Salt Air is a poeticised and rough-edged portrait, not a romanticised one." FROOTS

The magical quality of Jenny’s voice gives tangible feeling to the songs, the haunting lyrics range from the darker sides of folklore and legend through historical narrative to observing the human condition, the dreamlike, expressive and lingering melodies – together the combination creates a whole that holds you in its embrace..."

"In From The Skein, Jenny Sturgeon has clearly decided to challenge herself. That challenge has been well worthwhile and sees Jenny push her music far beyond the realms of singer/songwriter, to a wider sphere where words, music and creativity combine in an inspired and thoroughly engaging work."
