Smallfish Records said:
"This new album on Robin Isan's Arable label is just about as beautiful as you would imagine it to be. A gentle, melodic and delightfully organic selection of Electronica-based tracks that mix it up with guitars and music box sounds to create a Summery, happy and mellow vibe. Truly there are some fairytale moments here and you can spot the occasional moment where the sounds crossover with Tunng, mainly due to the vocal elements which lend a Folky sound. Produced to an incredibly high standard the tracks are sure to lodge themselves in your head simply by being really quite lovely. A recommended album and no mistake. Props to Dollboy for this one."

Piccadilly Records said:
"Last seen co-producing a limited 45 with Tunng on Static Caravan, Dollboy returns with a deft album of delicately rendered pieces, merging green-fingered acoustics with wooden percussion and processed sounds. The old-fashioned folkal melodies and atmospheric soundscapes come together with a beardy mood and features guest appearances from members of Hefner and Tunng."

De:Bug said:
"Ich kenne ein Mädchen, die hört gerne Pentangle. Das Info zu Dollboy verbietet mir durch die Blume, ihr "Casual Nudism" vorzuspielen. Weil das Album eher etwas mit Benjamin Britten zu tun hat, steht da. Als mit Pentangle. Für mich ist Dollboy aber jemand, bei dem ganz tief unten Fleischmann'sche Groovebox-Miniaturen schlummern. Ganz tief im Herzen. Dollboy weiß das nicht wirklich, er kann sich also nicht gegen wehren, dass ich das höre. Vielleicht bin ich auch der Einzige, bei dem das so ist. Denn es klingt schon sehr anders, ist viel akustischer, und wenn Dollboy, wir können ihn auch Oliver Cherer nennen, das Kalimba nicht so überstrapazieren würde, dann würde ich das Album auch noch mehr mögen, als ich es eh schon tue. Grassroots-Elektronika auf Folk getrimmt. Oder andersrum. Sehr weich und schön. Mit Klarinette. Was? Klar spiel ich's ihr vor."

Hello Dollboy.
I uploaded another track from the album «Symbiosis of Contradictions». That small ambient song called “Weather in Numbers” is the soundtrack for the today’s sky outside my window. Just a weak sunshine behind the grey clouds. Hope you will like it!
