"The record ‘POWWOW Five - You cannot kiss a laughing mouth’ was made in Nick’s ‘A Pocket Full of Stones’ studio in Point Lonsdale, Victoria. Nick has been making records out of the coastal town for the last few years and has produced Whitley, Seagull, Hazel Brown and his own solo album, the ‘Shipwreck LP’ in the space.
Over a series of sessions Touch Typist got together and developed an approach for the mini album. Starting with a structure based on tempo and a wider perspective of thirty minutes in sound, they lay out a path between song structures and instrumental explorations. Beginning and ending with a melodic line rendered in two very different contexts, the record is varied in colour and energy. In a reversal of the traditional narrative arc, the height of the musical exertion is found at the beginning. It is gradually deconstructed and after thirty minutes you arrive back with the distilled core of the introduction. It reflects a brief but frenzied creative process and is bubbling with possibilities."

"Very much an underrated local record from 2007, i like it more and more when i listen back... there goes that word again: understated. a lot going on - ethereal synths and pretty glitches, a really driving beat (be it drums, performed live on occasion standing up or by guitar or by tig's keys), a half-spoken languid-meets-laconic delivery in a distinctly australian accent from nick huggins to match his equally deft guitar strokes (bringing to mind the the amanset school of subtlety). all played down by a light, almost feathery touch - but by no means light-weight."
