Sounds Like“Nothing less than a stripped down Sufjan Stevens…on this evidence, Wallis will be worth watching out for.” Americana UK

“He has a brittle voice that isn't swamped by the gorgeous Americana-tinged instrumentation and the lovely melancholic melodies are joyously appealing. If ever there was a reason to dust off that old Walkman then this is it. Brilliant.” Sounds XP

“Finely crafted and charming stuff…will definitely stand the test of time and get repeat plays.” The Beat Surrender

“The perfect soundtrack for a new movie about two bookish American brothers with quick mouths who escape their dysfunctional family and hang out at the local balloon park where they meet Mary and Kate Olsen as surprisingly mature companions.” New Noise

   About looking glass
Our debut release, the mini-album 'Fish fowl flood', came out on CD on October 19th (limited to just 250 copies) on the Sounds Experience label. You can go to soundsexperience.co.uk to buy it or get it from Rough Trade.

The 8 songs were recorded at home in London and Lincoln, and have received radio support from Marc Riley, Steve Lamacq, Gideon Coe, Tom Robinson and John Hillcock on Radio 2, 6 Music and XFM. The collection was originally released on cassette at the end of last year on the Best Kept Secret label, which is based in Vicenza, Italy.

Thanks to all who came to one of our first ever shows recently- the CD launch at the Wilmington, the house show at SOFAR, and the gig at the Windmill supporting Deer Tick. We'll be announcing some dates for next year soon.

hey man

would you be up for playing an acoustic night we're holding at our house on 19th November. 

it's a pretty cool night we've played before but we're holding this one at ours. i think tom asked Ed but he's away or something. The nights are called SOFAR (songs from a room) and quite a few people usually show up. 

anyway, let me know if you're up for it

good gig on friday by the way - i loved the third song (i think it was third)

catch you later
