"...Many bands are starting to emerge from lockdown with quiet, understated pandemic albums. Solstice is an excellent entry in this genre; it’s mellow without being sad, strong without being strident and reassuring without being cloying. Pecknold has musically preserved in amber the quiet sense of hope that kept us holding on through quarantine. A Very Lonely Solstice was a one-time performance that brought many people comfort one evening during a troubled time, and with this release, listeners will be able return to it again and again for solace."
