    cracking debut by my locals. Old fashioned maybe but shows some exciting promise for the future. There are two or three fillers in the middle of the album when the pace drops but there are some cracking sweet sing along pop tunes in here!

    I can't think of another album I've bought which has taken so many spins before I've finally "got" it. Initially disappointing at first it's brilliance grows after numerous spins. Well worth investigating.

    I haven't heard a better orch-pop record since Eric Matthews debut in 1995. High praise, well deserved

    Sounds like Elbow on candy and ecstasy. And XTC.

    At first it seems kind of plain...but after half a dozen spins, it hits you in the most sublime way and I love every note of it!

    What is most interesting about this record, apart from it’s self-assured collection of off-beat laments is the amount of exciting doorways it flings open for the future.

    [An] intriguing debut. [Sep 2005, p.103]

    A debut offering of preposterously ace swoon-pop. [6 Aug 2005, p.56]
