  "Wolverton songs - grand adventures in tiny, shiny packages - tend toward the cerebral and the mystical. Wolverton is its very own many splendored creation, spinning art folk as only magi may.
  
  I imagined that I had wandered into some floating adjunct of the Amargosa Opera House in Death Valley Junction, California. Vocalist and earthbound butterfly Caralyn Snyder seemed a descendant of the Amargosa’s resident ballerina, the entrancing Marta Becket, fluttering amongst invisible blooms and conjuring melody from the very air.
  
  With crystalline vocals and keys that skip lightly, sparkle and cascade, she cautions the listener not to 'slip on the leaves in the portal beforehand.' Written by Kate, the song brings to mind the age-old dichotomy between the restricted, careful life and the terrain of freedom and imagination, where one takes chances and runs with the wizard, the wolves, and the wild.
  
  Wizard Land also includes a mini-literary saga, Melville, written by bassist and fiddler Jeremiah Teutsch. Something of an operetta-ette, the haunting song puts one aboard a 19th-century ship, with more than “a burden to bear” as Jeremiah’s dramatic yet controlled vocal style conveys the urgency, the fleeting chance, the desperation of men cast to dire circumstance.
  
  A guest theremin, played by Jessica DeCuir, and banjo, played by Lindsey Verrill, underscore the universal puzzlement of the Hills-penned My Name Is Time. The song reminds us that no one, not Michelangelo, Walt Whitman, or Captain Kangaroo, has ever been able to figure out just what the heck time actually is, why we have so much of it and why we yet have so little — and why it’s so fleeting, as fugitive as the wind. ‘My name is time, I’m wearing your clothes, they fit pretty well, how nobody knows’”
  --- Gene Fowler, Glasstire
  
  "Although the vast state of Texas HAS an excellent psychedelic reputation beyond its obvious country and Americana scene, it has never been known for much of a psychedelic folk scene. San Antonio’s Wolverton continue to their best to change that perception. Their previous two EPs were real gems and now their first long player continues the magic throughout these fourteen songs."
  --- David Hintz, Folk World
  
  "On this latest album, the songwriters are on top of their game influenced by folk, psych, pop, jazz and beyond yet retaining a sonic framework that ties every tune together wonderfully, each song perfectly formed and a delight for the ears. These influences though are just that, the band has their own identity, they cannot sound any other way, this is Wolverton, beautiful, great conversationalist and the perfect date for a summer afternoon."
  --- Simon Lewis, Terrascope
  
  "contagious fun...mescaline in the pocket."
  --- James Killen, Houston Music Review
  
  "Approaching their songwriting with the carefree spirit of kids on a playground, the three core members (vocalist and keys player Kate Terrell, guitarist and singer Hills Snyder, and vocalist Caralyn Snyder) all take turns leading listeners through the weird and twisting experimental folk journey of Wizard Land."
  --- Chris Conde, San Antonio Current
  
  "Wizard Land is the latest album by eclectic Texas based band Wolverton. Their brand of folk rock has elements of chamber pop, and sneaking cabaret/noir vibrations, especially in the dramatic delivery of the dual vocals and kaleidoscopic lyrical imagery. A basic, central sound of piano, percussion and guitar is fleshed out here and there by strings, banjo, theremin and other production touches. Wolverton's musical influences seem to range wide, from roots rock and americana to broadway-style show tunes and classical flourishes."
  --- Josh Moss, The Modern Folk Music of America
