“Superb bootsale-pop like Elliot Smith rubbed down with lavender...downbeat folk loveliness” - NME
"Sparkling indie-folk in style, these songs are as magical as anything the much-acclaimed Fionn Regan has recently released to the world. It is serene, stunningly so, and quite wonderfully arresting...Jackson is, at times, blinding" - Drowned In Sound 8/10
“Beautiful. Plucky acoustic guitar, optimistic piano, synths and strings, horns that feel full of possibility, and really lovely, occasionally harmonied singing. For some reason, listening to it conjures up a woodland scene in my head. Not in a twee, Snow White way, more in the way of a really exciting version of A Midsummer Night's Dream” – XFM (Marsha Shandur)
“Bringing a modern and captivating slant to a tiring genre… An ethereal and delicate mix of dark lyrics and beautiful acoustic melody which brings a new life to the school of singer-songwriters. Single of The Week” – Student Radio Association
"At 1.15p.m on Sunday to a packed Bimble Inn, a tip for the top, indie troubadours House Of Brothers from Nottingham. They played a gem of a set, sparkling songs which will retain their lustre on repeated hearings and had a singer/writer in Andrew Jackson with a superb turn of phrase and a heartstring tugging, warm vocal delivery." – BBC 6Music (End Of The Road Festival 2008 Review)
“This entire EP is a perfect lesson in how to record a singer/songwriter. Fleshing out the great songs and emotionally raw lyrics that Jackon has conjured up. What initially strikes you about the EP is how beautifully sparse the recording is. Each of the instruments, including Jackson’s impeccable vocals, are given space to breath and inhabit their own space...one of the artists to watch in 2008” – The Line Of Best Fit
"Sometimes you just can't explain why a record is so good. It just is. On the face of it, House of Brothers (aka Andrew Jackson, formerly of cult screamy noise rockers The Murder of Rosa Luxemburg) doesn't appear to be doing anything different from any other male singer-songwriter. But, like Elliott Smith or Fionn Regan (Jackson should follow him onto the Mercury Music Prize shortlist at this rate), House of Brothers just do it better. Not since Smith or 'Hour of the Bewilderbeast'-era Damon Gough has their been an artist so likely to capture the weary hearts and comfort the blurry heads of students in bed-sits everywhere, not to mention the hopeless romantic or sucker for quality songwriting. 'Deadman' really is that promising. Cult status beckons this one." – High Voltage Magazine 4/5
"...Deadman is immediately arresting. The opening title track is a multi layered, instrumentally intelligent, and quite simply beautiful indie-folk song. With mesmerising string arrangements and clever rhythmic elements the song is darkly enchanting..." – musicomh.com
"...lightly arranged melancholy folk bliss...'Deadman' is another great 2007 release..." – sputnikmusic.com
" ‘Deadman’, the latest EP offering from Nottingham-based singer, songwriter, instrumentalist and dream-weaver Andrew Jackson, is a record of delicate acoustic song writing with soul and vocals that float effortlessly through the gentle instrumental melodies. This release is as powerful as it is soothing, with a warmth able to cure the coldest of hearts." – pushtofire.com
