"Anyone who’s listened to early thirty-something trumpeter Laura Jurd’s past recordings will be aware of her wittily genre-blending compositional approach and colourfully layered arranging skills. But this new recording zooms in on just one influence of hers above all others and that’s folk music. For "Rites & Revelations" Jurd has gone back to basics in some sense composing her own simple folk-like themes but with a bold, raw and darkly explosive new sound when performed by her new quartet. In this context Jurd is at her most Miles-ishly penetrating on trumpet while Ultan O’Brien’s violin/viola and Martin Green’s accordion tend to defy the more conventional folk music clichés, with their use of quivering drone and avant-garde sonic effects. Ruth Goller’s throbbing, grungy electric bass and long term Chaos Collective associate Corrie Dick’s thunderous drumming are vital contributions to the recording’s elemental sound world."
