There's no release date just yet, but we do have one fragile, classically inflected track, "Your Good Arm," which features the venerable Francis Condon on trumpet and Krueger on just about everything else. Fronted and guided by Krueger's falsetto, it's fleshed out with piano, marching drums, escalating harmonies, and lyrical phrases both emotional ("now, don't make that face at me") and intellectual ... These layers build, and redouble, toward a flourishing outro. This is a pretty awesome song.

Think the weariness of a bedroom troubadour, a folkie with mild classical
tendencies ... It's really great stuff

Demonstrates a unique type of beauty that needs to be absorbed ...The vocal harmonies are vastly layered, and even come across as almost psalmic as if sung by a church choir. They might, just might, even give you chills..."

He may not be a direct member of Team Sufjan, but if you're looking for the
hidden gem of that small universe, it is probably him …he is seen as
Beirut with a more classic
education.
“Inlets makes chamber music, with much adornments, but off-balanced, a delicate web of trombone, guitars & banjo, clarinet and bells and many other things. Music recorded between a pillow and a window, a music almost without format but decidedly without certainties. Its ebb & flow only obeying to lunar and unpredictable emotions. Music that's constantly escaping, that does not give any answers but the perfect match for those moments of incomprehension, of questioning.

The Torture Garden

This is something good, this is a sign that someone has been paying attention
... How would I describe it? Good. Very good, in a strange way. It seems I
can hear so many of my favourite musicians in here, but that doesn't leave
it without its own identity.

Sebastian Krueger (of Inlets) has a way of recording and setting up a song
so that everything sounds like morning light hazing in through the thick curtains
of your bedroom, and sometimes it's just perfect.

Vestibule is highly recommended for fans of the fragility of Seven Swans,
and Stereogum also recommends it for fans of Beirut or Andrew Bird. Perfect
for your wintry listening pleasure.

If you love the beautiful and sad, such as November
rocks huddled like abandoned eggs on the beach, then the music of Inlets may
satisfy your craving. Another in a growing line of talented bedroom auteurs.
