Said about Vulture Forest, Vejslevs debut album:

"a certain cinematic melodicism is achieved in a rhythmic environment that sits on the periphery of swing and the attitude of cool blues. “Past Your Bedtime” reflects this approach with a quick step, while “Bittersweet” goes about it at the pace of moonlight crossing the floor..." - Dave Summer (Bird is the Worm)

“an alluring blend of emotional atmospheres, sometimes leaning toward melancholia while mostly remaining at a level of awing tranquility..." - Jazz Club Quarterly

"Vulture Forest contains more meditative elements and is considerably more melancholic, dreamy and sounds more European, compared to the Americans. You rather find yourself in the endless snow-covered woods of Sweden or Norway than in the US..." (translated from dutch) - Hans Ivernizzi (Jazzflits)
