There is an art to finding that sweet spot between freshness and familiarity… that both plays into comfort zones and offers something new. It is an art that Erik Rabasca is a master of, New Scrolls being all the proof needed…echoing icons such as John Prine, Townes Van Zandt and even his Bobness himself, it is the sound of…a torch being passed…where the long traditions of the past tumble into a bright new future and where quality songwriting is front and center, New Scrolls is an album that runs the roots-rock gamut. Brilliantly…this is an album, and indeed, Erik Rabasca is an artist that you need in your life. The Big Takeover
New Scrolls is an album that sounds so natural and organic..engaging from beginning to end, consistently delivering a thoroughly accomplished collection of Americana and country folk songs…a songwriter with a clear voice and a strong command of his craft. Highly recommended. Recording Artists Guild
On the surface, the songs feel familiar, but on closer listen, it’s clear (Rabasca) possesses a writer’s eye for detail that really makes them stand out. It’s a wonderful work of music..lyrically astute numbers that suggest the best of the folk troubadours…addressing current affairs, but without any pontificating, just thoughtful, incisive observations. A perceptive and thoroughly enjoyable album. Americana UK
The album is laden with energy, vibration, information, and healing within its introspective yet gritty sonic world. The textured album is meditative and curious as it unfurls the intricacies of humanity with a melodic flourish (with Rabasca’s) poetic lyrics and flowing delivery…layering everyday observations with poignant moments of spirituality, each track on the album evokes curiosity, catharsis and comfort. Earmilk
Some records win you over before the songwriting even has a chance to make its case. New Scrolls is one of those albums…a warm, inviting listen that rewards close attention without ever sounding sterile or overworked. An album that is consistently rewarding from beginning to end. Buzzslayers
