Sounds Like
"your ears naturally tune into Michaelson's skill at putting words to the
parts of relationships that usually stay silent. The cruel asymmetry of
romance is addressed exquisitely, recalling the resigned grandeur of the
Go-Betweens' Robert Forster " **** The Times
"impressive - comes on like Smog fronting the songs of Ed Harcourt" Uncut
"an intensely felt and sparsely drawn study of the beginnings and ends of relationships" **** Time Out
Spellbinding, genuinely heartbreaking songs.. The Quietus
"a set of frighteningly good songs **** The Stool Pigeon
"a voice deeper and darker than most extended overdrafts - Michaelson is on endearingly poetic form" NME
"A perfect confection"**** Epoch Times
"an outstanding collection of quirky and bare to the bones songs" 8/10 Rocksound
"nothing short of brilliant. An unbridled, unadulterated Gem" London Tour dates
"Michaelso gets as close to a prodidy of Leonard Cohen as is tastefully possible. Im spellbound" Plan B
"A complete killer" Artrocker.

Thanks to you and the band for coming to the Nottingham Bodega and briging some real warmth to town. I was one of those who actually bought a ticket in advance
See you back here soon I hope and I can't wait for the new album.
Sorry Dan, I see you ARE gigging in Brighton so I'll try and make it along. I have put your name forward for a Mark Riley session. Hopefully he will take heed (don't know if you've done one before but they ask you to recommend others when you do them, fuck knows whether they read it but let's hope so.) Keep well, Will x
