The Cosmic Otters Chicago, Illinois
The Cosmic Otters make people dance.
We start with a solid rhythmic foundation of guitar and
piano, add inventive fiddle harmonies, and finish with juicy, pulsing accordion playing and tasteful percussion. The tunes are from the British Isles and its relatives, yet with an unshakable drive and playful improvisations that make dancers smile, we make them our own.

I've just listened to this album twice in a row (had to stop halfway through the second time so I could buy it). I love Dark Sky, Bright Stars too, but this one is just so calming, like a warm hug. Highly recommended.

Not So But Far Otherwise
by Countercurrent
supported by 10 fans who also own “The Halsway Carol”
This album shines with two musicians who absolutely love what they do, and are terrific both at contra-focused instrumental music and songs! The sheer energy of the reels (especially Master Crowley's, which I'm obsessed with) is stunning, and the banjo picking on Lonely Road and others begs me to listen to it again and again. I'm not the biggest fan of all the styles on the album, but I can tell that the musicians' hearts are behind it, and that's good enough for me overall!
