"as crisp as an early autumns morn, curdling dreamy samples and rickety
pastoral parochialisms, prised apart by gentle darting beats. At the heart
of these six tender morsels lies a weighty lucky bag of sweet mouth watering
succulence. Quite delicious if you ask me!" Losing Today
"Fans of Prefuse 73 and Four Tet should
make it their mission to track down this EP ... recorded at home, it oozes
charm and loveliness from every pore, as gentle guitars, synths and percussion
are morphed with playful beats and samples." City Life (Manchester
Edition)
"someone who has real promise. It's
an inspired piece of music ... so if you want a serious treat, order it
now. Keep pressing the play button everybody." Record Collector

FLY Mag review
"A superb use of the often clinical
CD format. Eight acts, but with a common thread of accessible but challenging
song writing. If you want to experience something different but mind-blowingly
good, this has to be it."

with sublime soundscapes and enchanting melodies... a leftfield dream."
