“Unlit Trail” (2021)

“Seven tracks that move between breathless drones, dreary neo-folk prayers and adorations of the woodland and its seen and unseen dwellers... conjuring chillingly seductive atmospheres that most black metal bands could only wish for… simultaneously majestic and terrifying.”
– THE WIRE

“Fletcher Tucker’s latest album of ritualistic sound is called Unlit Trail. Like the previous, Cold Spring, it’s a record that settles deep into the sacred nature of existence. It’s an lp designed to welcome the listener ‘into a liminal state, beyond ordinary awareness,’ and into the unknown.”
– AQUARIUM DRUNKARD

"Cold Spring" (2017)

“Tucker sinks into the redwoods and roots out something ancient and always. A truly incredible record." 
– LARS GOTRICH, NPR

“Fletcher Tucker's deep immersion masterpiece... a powerful and haunting transmission of fire and earth." 
– DEVENDRA BANHART

“An arboraceous, psychedelic journey that reveals more with each listen." 
– AQUARIUM DRUNKARD

“Tucker evokes Big Sur’s natural grandeur with echo-shrouded vocals, shimmering synthesizers, wildlife field recordings, booming drums… [yet] one suspects that he spent as much time paring back as he spent building up. Each note and line occupies its own space in a big, uncluttered sound field, and each song moves at a pace that reinforces the solemnity of the proceedings.”
