Press:(goes to show how subjective music can be):

"Hunter-Gatherer’s music feels like an ice-storm panic attack. Unsettling and
uncanny, it stands outside the bedroom window, and lives in dark alleys...
Album title track 'I Dreamed I Was a Footstep In The Trail of a Murderer’ is
where Kid A/Kraftwerk beats mix with lysergic paranoia." - NME

"Huddled under a sheet, lit by a green lamp and a laptop backlight, Hunter-Gatherer's
live sets demand a ninja-like focus. Utilizing mid-90s Warp beats his songs journey
from the ambient to the ecstatic, conjuring up textures that vary from cashmere
blanket to frost-covered park grass. Equal parts expressive and obscure,
Hunter-Gatherer's many layers are worth unwrapping to get to the core motive within."
- Totally Dublin

"Hunter-Gatherer is an electronic artist who makes the music of the sultry
night. The kind of music you toss and turn to, where you zone in and out of
sleep, awake but caught up in your own half-dream visions. You might find
him at The Box Social, wearing a robe and conjuring melancholy but never
focusless electronica from his laptop. My ears are unschooled as
programmed music goes, but there is occasionally something of the
anhedonic warmth of Kid A/Amnesiac Radiohead and the obscurantism of
Plaid in this. There are links to various EPs through MySpace, and you can
look forward to an album in late 2009." - Those Geese Were Stupefied

Featured as one of Nialler9's "50 best Irish music acts right now" and Off Her
Rocker's "Top Bands In Ireland Right Now" (April 2009)

"I’m loving that Hunter-Gatherer EP (You're Dead After School) which people should
download for free at http://www.myspace.com/huntergathererforever" - Jim Carroll,
The Irish Times

"Starting with a peal of thunder and the sound of heavy rain, Left For Dead is a
narcoleptic electronica track... building from a haunting synth pattern to a euphoric
swell...a dark, ambient piece" - Analogue Magazine

"Wickedly icy electronica" - Le Cool magazine

"Slick and ice-cool electronica that seeps in under the skin" - Connected magazine

"(You're Dead After School) is tonal, otherworldly electronic stuff that never loses sight
of its unnerving melody. The hissing effects on this track from Hunter-Gatherer sound
like distilled anxiety" - Asleep On The Compost Heap

"Left for Dead...quietly invites itself for tea and within hours is cosily wrapped up in your
favourite blanket in the living room. You don’t mind though, as it brings calmness and
warmth with it" - Nialler9

"Snow-Globe is icy...remote and synthetic, great stuff"; "His Virtual 7" is moody, broody
electronic music...not a million miles away from Trentemoller and Plaid"
- Pascal's Country Sounds

"Prolific in his work and benevolent with the output offering plenty of electronic goodies
for free, Hunter-Gatherer is moody, broody, uplifting, an aural rip curl"
- One Shot, Bang Bang

"(Left For Dead) is a serious, serious tune" - Cathal Funge on I-Con, Phantom FM

"The start of the gig made me think of Stars Of The Lid" - Thrill Pier
