“A treasure trove for listeners whose tastes run to thoughtful composition and big-sound acoustics.” — MAGNET

“Live At Galapagos Art Space ticks off all the right boxes and more…orchestral pop at its best.”

“Attains the same rarified air as Green is Good, like a unified double LP—so far. Just fabulous, again!” — The Big Takeover

“One of the more intriguing releases in quite some time…seamlessly stitches together dozens of different influences into a cohesive quilt of modern pop…not a bum track out of ten!”
— Pop That Goes Crunch!

“This album is rich, deep, full, and at times revelatory. And yet wasn’t recorded in a studio! This is Orchestral Pop of the highest order. It’s The Mamas and the Papas with strings. It’s a more contemporary, less preachy Blood Sweat and Tears.” —Berkeley Place

“Foxes and Hounds is a magnificent battle between the musically sweet and the lyrically sour, and the Sharp Things are indeed sharp — a serrated carving knife swaddled in velvet.” —The Oklahoman

“Gorgeous opener “I Will Always Be Swimming In This Sea” is Prince, Mercury Rev and Sgt Pepper-era Beatles, the epic “Vacationing” is Tom Waits, Todd Rundgren and even a little bit Coldplay, and the pained, soaring “Precious” is the Bad Seeds meets Philly soul with Talk Talk’s Mark Hollis on vocals. Delightful, the lot of it.” —NME
