Broadly speaking, the music of Stella Kola could be labeled psychedelic folk, although the term feels limited and pedestrian when one encounters the elegant majesty of the work itself. While drinking from the same well as Shirley Collins, Fairport Convention, C.O.B., Pentangle, Anne Briggs, Bridget St. John, and the like, not for a second does it play as a retro exercise. The music wears its influences comfortably, swimming in the atmosphere of its forebearers without feeling beholden to stylistic conceits or overt reference. If you're looking for flashy hipsterism, you've stumbled into the wrong tavern. It's a dream band, impossible to place, arising from somewhere beyond the individuals responsible. Stella Kola is an entity larger than all that. A small tear in the fabric of time allowing some light from The Land of Timelessness to come dancing through. RIYL: Bridget St. John, Slapp Happy, Broadcast, C.O.B., Julie Tippetts, Myriam Gendron, Tia Blake, Julee Cruise, Blossom Dearie, Vashti Bunyan, Kevin Ayers and the Whole World.
