**************************************************************
“Fans of understatement, avant-garde fusion and acoustic trance should take serious note.” ★★★★★ 
- Songlines (Top of the World)

“A puzzling trip into some very peculiar sonic regions where nothing is quite as it seems.” 
- The Wire

“Almost certainly this will be unlike anything else you’ve heard this year.” ★★★★★ 
- BBC Music magazine

“This is music unlike anything else; eerily compelling it’s almost as if the musicians are channelling music from a parallel universe.” ★★★★ 
- RNR Magazine

“Širom create a captivating elixir...(the) band dig deep into an ancient sonic archive of mystical folk with their perfect distillation of instruments.” 
- Louder Than War

“A novel outfit creating something new.” 
- London Evening Standard

“Interesting sounds and combinations.” 
- fRoots

“Širom exemplify a fine balance between improvisation and craft.” ★★★★ 
- Jazzwise

“I Can Be A Clay Snapper is the first tak:til imprint to meander into south central Europe. And what an impressive and expansive inaugural Balkans travail it is too.” 
- Monolith Cocktail

"Combining traditional acoustic influences, poly-rhythmic classical tropes, ancient eastern instrumentation, wayward improvisation and a disconnected, aloof air to their performance; they might be described as post-folk… if you dare! Judge for yourself with an album for the always excellent Glitterbeat label.«
- Vic Galloway (Clash Magazine)

"A band that makes me rethink music!"
- Kevin Cole (KEXP Radio)

"Avant-garde world music for the gourmet."
- Eric van Domburg Scipio (Heaven)

"Glasba, ki nas (že zaradi rabe številnih tradicionalnih in doma narejenih glasbil) s sočasno minimalistično preprostostjo in kompleksnostjo popelje v neke druge dimenzije." ★★★★★
- Mladina

"[Širom] so pokazali, kako se pojem »tradicija« lahko razume zelo različno v različnih kontekstih, kako v bistvu ne gre za enoznačen ali za vedno definiran pojem, pač pa za elastično formo, napol prazno posodo, ki jo vsakič znova tako glasbeniki kot njihovi poslušalci napolnijo z vselej novimi pomeni in odmevi."
- Radio Študent

"The group evoys and suggests, but never sets things up and lets the listener completely free in his or her experience of the music."
- Philippe De Cleen (Written in Music)

"U svijetu u kojem sve više ima onih koji bi podizali zidove i iz svojih dvorišta tjerali druge i drugačije prava je blagodat čuti Širom čije skladbe sugeriraju da su ljudi, glazba i kulture stvoreni da bi se bez straha miješali."
- Aleksandar Dragaš (Jutarnji list)

Thing Five

FISSE#2

Own Road is Simon Skjødt Jensen’s one-man project. Based in Copenhagen Skjødt Jensen’s music exists in a twilight space between American folk music, singer-songwriter and a nuanced psychedelica. Through the use of looping vocal effects, guitar, ukulele and more exotic instruments Skjødt Jensen’s compositions move effortlessly between anxiety, melodic beauty and otherworldly abandon. Own Road is music at once archaically familiar and utterly contemporary.
