What some others have said.....
Uncut - "Cork quartet in spellbinding debut...Occasionally a record comes along that's so intimate and immediate you want to disconect the phone, get under the duvet and forget the outside world. "
Mojo - "By the time you've got the full measure of their sombre elegance, the band are confirmed masters of the idiom."
Irish Times - "Distilling pure gold from ennui and pathos and creating a gorgeously arranged, intelligent and spacious collection of Americana melancholy, 'Soon it will come' wraps around you and tilts your head to the stars."
Dubfly - "I'm listening to this Boa Morte album at the moment and it does things to you. It's simultaneously life-affirming and heart-wrenching; easily-grasped yet possessing infinite layers of complex melodic emotions. Sometimes 100 words is too little to accurately pin down such a great work."
Zeitgeist - "This is a refreshingly unpretentious collection of beautifully orchestral songs, where gentle melodies accompany understated lyrics to give us what will no doubt be the Irish album of the year."

Hope all is well with you near the equator. I was waiting so long for your follow-up album that I decided to do one myself. I just thought I'd let you know about the launch details, but if I arrange something in Cork in the autumn I'll give yiz a shout.
