about

«Herbarium» is called so because of heterogeneity of «songs», which can be compared to miscellaneous leaves in the album, still belonging to the family of trees. Trying to avoid non-alive metaphors here, only thought of diversity and warm and innermost feeling that herbarium is capable to conjure up. «... This leaf I picked up in the park where I met her, and this - I sat by the river, contemplating...». So tracks were created – one was captured in some magic jam, another – recorded layer by layer and meticulously mixed then, next – cut from previous sessions and so on.
All compositions are united by Poostosh sense of music – thoughtful, spatial, tender and experimental. There's a lot of soul and charisma in every leaf... So please let your soul look through our HERBARIUM.
"....also a highly enjoyable beast, chucking ambient bits, neo-classical bits, softly psychedelic bits, gently picked guitars and the odd laid-back beat into a big pot and stamping on them playfully until they form something that's quite akin to one of Air's soundtracks, or occasionally Pink Floyd at their most drifty. I can well imagine people snuggling up to this CD on lonely evenings." (Brett, Norman records)
"..There’s a tension, imagination and evocative nature to their work and with any luck if Herbarium reaches the discerning ear of any Hollywood directors then we could see their music reach the stage it deserves." (Charlie Brown, The Music Critic)
"Herbarium is a marvellously cinematic album, vast and sprawling yet with a rich dreamlike humanity at its core...the album treads a fine line between the shimmering Bauhaus simplicity of Daniel Lanois and the ‘flowers in the hair’ pastoral introspection of More era Pink Floyd. The ideal album for just kicking back and watching the grass grow under your feet." (Steve Burnett, The music Fix)
"This one is definitely a grower...Give it some time and once you get it, it will be hard to not listen to it on a regular basis...This is a band that I would love to see perform live and their album gets a good solid 8/10 from me." (Imogen Davies, Tasty)
"...Herbarium is an album worthy of any collection. This is music to think to." (Tom Turnbull, You Like We Like)
"Poostosh’s real genius is being able to unearth beauty....for most of the time I was mesmerised by its invention and weirdness." (Jonatahn Leonard, Leonard's Lair).
