“One is a work of art, replete with willowy surfaces and delicate timbres, all weaving a gloriously gorgeous tapestry of sound.”
“Enchanting acoustic music that conjures atmospheric soundscapes.”
— Pete Prown, writer for Guitar World
“Johnson’s gorgeous passages would be enough to sustain the album on their own but with the integration of Swanson’s luxuriously cascading textures, Moon and Bike’s One goes beyond a mere acoustic instrumental record... and becomes the score to a deeply immersive experience. One is a near-perfect example of the atmosphere that can be created by two deeply in-sync musicians with a cinematic sense of composition.”
“Moon and Bike compose the soundtrack of a daydream... “One” reveals a clever musical partnership (that) explores lush, luxurious territory with such care and compassion.”
“This is moonlight music, or sunrise symphonies. It’s seraphic signals sent from above, a way of talking that’s way better than words... (a) peerless album.”
“One, the new release by instrumental guitar duo Moon and Bike, is a beautiful and timeless recording. The compositions are gorgeous, each one a gem that evokes many moods, colors, landscapes and emotions. Boone Johnson's captivating acoustic guitar playing and Michael Swanson's excellent electric guitar and keyboard work display exquisite and complementary interplay. With a wide tonal palette, they paint sonic pictures that transport the listener to many magical places. ”
— Margaret Slovak, acclaimed jazz guitarist and composer
“Moon and Bike have such an original sound. Between ethos and ethereal, they paint a landscape of layers, part soundtrack, part ghost western. In other words, these guys are really good at what they do. The album One is exceptional in every way and is a must have. Thank you Boone and Michael.”
