PORCH DWELLER REVIEWS
"Further proof that Armen Firman might just be one of Melbourne's best unsung bands". Beat Magazine
"Whilst it reaches a glorious pinnacle at its conclusion, with James Saunders really hitting his straps vocally, it’s the gentle hum of the organ, the sparseness of the guitar, the overall sensation of restraint that reveals Armen Firman’s greatest strength". Wireless Bollinger.com
"The song is a sombre and thoughtful creeper... achingly beautiful". iTunes Australia
"A fantastic new track from the young Melbourne band". The Dwarf.com.au
"It's a promising glimpse, with 'Porch Dweller' gaining instant attention without resorting to cheap loud noises to do so". Tsunami Magazine
