The new recording highlights the sonic cohesion of the quartet, featuring longtime member Jesse Sparhawk on harp and electric bass, Jim Ayre on Flying V and drums/percussion and noted Sun Ra scholar James Wolf on violin. The calm surface of harp, cello and violin are juxtaposed against the perfectly timed distorted squalls of a Flying V with the grounding blanket of electric bass underneath. All throughout is a dark undercurrent of lyrical and vocal mystery.
The overall effect is a lush and pastoral ode to all things living, a running theme that winds through the lyrics: "All is lost / and all will run / over graying ground / to the rays of the sun," sings Wienk in the album's closing track "Magpie Suite: Part III." The spirit conveyed on Fern Knight (vhf #110) is that of a beautiful green age in an apocalyptic landscape about to be laid to dust and its struggle to escape this end.

"Víèzslav Nezval could hardly have imagined the future incarnations of his 1945 book Valerie and Her Week of Wonders. Inspired by its folklore guise and transgressive symbolism, fellow Czech Jaromil Jires condensed Nezval's novella into a staggeringly beautiful celluloid fantasy which mirrored the aesthetic and radical consciosness of the 60s counter-culture which birthed it. Thirty-eight years after it's initial release ten Philadelphian musicians, bound by a love of the film and its original score, worked to compose an alternate soundtrack. The result is a celebration of the impact Valerie and Her Week of Wonders has had on the Folk/Rock Movement and a tribute to the culture that today sustains it." - Greg weeks
