Recorded and produced by Nils Hinnerk Schulz in Hamburg and San José.

Mastered by Milo Gomberoff at Hukot, Barcelona.

Artwork: Juliana Córdova

“Nilson’s musical soundscapes conjure up images and echoes of faded sci-fi or supernatural television shows, arcane rustic rituals and surrealist or Dadaist collage. […] A further triumph in a series of unique and wilfully inventive albums, Nilson is not just pursuing his own path, he is remapping the overlap of folk and electronica with his own brand of strange beauty and gentle oddness. […] Enter the looking glass world of Nilson, and enjoy your stay.”
Moof Magazine

"An dieser musikalischen Collage ist alles inspirierend und auch nach mehrfachem Hören weiterhin voller Überraschungen."
Folk Magazin

"Nilson makes the kind of shape-shifting music that seems to belong more to the ether than to any specific place. […] With a distinct fondness for haunted reveries, School and Forest sets to find amazement in unexpected juxtapositions and promises to unearth new revelations with each listen."
Shindig

"Nilson […] creates a […] hypnagogic soundscape […] in which the past and the present exist simultaneously. The lovely Brigg Fair, a traditional English folk song, […] is given a suitably psychedelic production as befits the song’s history, and as a result, it shimmers beneath a lysergic haze which puts the acid back into acid-folk. Likewise, A Poem […] sounds as if its being channelled from a lost episode of cult British television series Sapphire and Steel which, these days, is considered a byword for hauntological wyrdness […] Fans of Broadcast, The Focus Group and, indeed, their collaboration in which they investigate witch cults of the radio age; early Ghost Box releases in general; Bert Jansch’s 1971 release ROSEMARY LANE; and anyone who enjoys repeated viewings of Jonathan Miller’s production of Alice in Wonderland […] will find that they’re very much at home to this album - acoustic psych-folk loveliness experienced through the lens of Radiophonic experimentation. Clever and engaging."
