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 first release, a collection of 10 songs titled 'Fish / fowl / flood', came out at the end of 2008 on Best Kept Secret, which is based in Vicenza, Italy, and releases only on cassette. The songs were recorded at home in London and Lincoln, and received radio support from Marc Riley, Steve Lamacq, Tom Robinson and John Hillcock on Radio 2, 6 Music and XFM.

You can get more information and order the tape (for the reasonable sum of 5 US dollars) from www.indiepages.com/bestkeptsecret.

A slightly edited version of ‘Fish / fowl / flood’ will be released on CD in early autumn by Sounds Experience, and will be accompanied by our first ever live shows. More details to follow soon. new songs & recordings are on the way too, promise.

Newly-mastered versions of some of the tracks on "Fish / fowl / flood" can now be heard on the player above.

I also play in a band called My Sad Captains. Our debut album just came out on Stolen Recordings: check out my 'top friends' and have a listen.
