Baltimore-based band led by Dave Heumann. Reviews and coverage highlight albums including Rites Of Uncovering, Song Of The Pearl, The Gathering, Coming Out Of The Fog and Long Live the Well-Doer; critics note influences from 60s/70s folk, psychedelia, southern and stoner rock.

DeBaser reviews praise Arbouretum's blend of folk, psychedelia and heavy guitar, often centred on Dave Heumann's vocals and six-string. Critics highlight Rites Of Uncovering as a standout and note later albums' shifts toward more direct rock. Overall reception is favourable with occasional remarks on inconsistency.

For:Listeners who like psychedelic folk, vintage/70s-tinged rock, Americana and heavy, reverberated guitars.

 The seriousness of the long black beards that adorn the proud chins of Arbouretum seems to warn us about the gravity of the operation: doom folk they have called it.

 Distorted, expansive guitars. As if someone started playing grunge in the Seventies.

 Heumann is a musician who experiments, blending old and new, and I am sure that in the near future there will be few points of contact with this album.
