My First Tooth & The Rubies EP April 6th Alcopop! Records
"Enjoying the same sandpapered finish as Beirut and Bon Iver, My First Tooth and the Rubies EP makes you wish for a front porch, a sunset and a song of your own to sing, that could match Honesty Honestly for it's beauty. Typewriters almost replicates its namesake rythmically whilst it is steeped in honey-thick violin and melodies that reach for the open road. Oak cured alt-country" - Artrocker Zine
