βItβs been absolutely wonderful working with the absolutely spectacular Hannah Rose Platt on her third record; Hannah has a truly gorgeous voice, a wicked way with words, and weβve created a sonic Jackson Pollock of blood and sweat... the Wolf Cabin turned into a Tim Burton / David Lynch film ... the album is magnifique...β
