fein, dass meine begeisterung für dieses wundervolle, bezaubernde, hinreißende album geteilt wird:
*****
„A classic from start to finish…a near perfect debut.“
Music-News.com*****
„Transcendant… a Mercury Prize nomination perhaps awaits.“
Subba Cultcha****
„Wonderful“
Observer Music Monthly****
„An autumnal mist of British Bank Holiday ennui surrounds Nick Hemming’s literate meditations.“
The Times****
„Music to cuddle up to, music to clutch yourself to, music that is, as Jimmy Webb might say, necessary. This is a band that could well be the sound of 2009.“
Maverick Magazine****
„A lovingly crafted, tender folk record that will secure them as a named brand on the shelves of pop. The love affair begins.“

The Independent On Sunday9/10
„As moving as Elbow, as stirring as The Delgados, it’s wholly magical.“
Teletext8/10
