Aux Meadows - Draw Near (2025)

"With moaning fiddle, rusted guitar lines, and synth pulses that thump out like a robotic heartbeat, this is possibly the clearest definition of kosmische country that you’re going to find this year... if Neu! scored a Sam Peckinpah film." – Record Crates United

"Aux Meadows rustle up some fine open sky sounds that owe as much to Brian Eno as to Dylan’s 'Pat Garrett & Billy the Kid' soundtrack." – Jeff Conklin / Ambient Audiophile / Trailhead

"The pavement on "Draw Near" is always cracked—but there’s a subtle grace to the record as well... The band finds beauty amid the dryness and the desolation, an oasis anchored in parking lot corners." – Raven Sings the Blues

"'Draw Near' continues their outsider vision of Americana... a mighty fine slice of contemplative cosmic country." – The Slow Music Movement

"Great work which plays right at the limits of expression and chops, never showy but not content to settle, as dust in the outdoors never does." – Heathen Disco / Doug Mosurock

"Across eleven songs, the trio refines its ability to conjure landscapes with sound." – The Third Eye
