"Rough Trade Shops always loved Monkey Swallows the Universe and nothing has changed now Nat Johnson the former singer, songwriter and guitarist has gone solo. 'Roman Radio' is a simply stunning album that deserves your attention - it has 13 great songs with real flavour and depth. The picks are the semi-country stomping 'Dirty Rotten Soul', the total indie jangle of 'Wonderful Emergency' that sounds like a mix of the Smiths and c86 indie legends the Siddeleys with a a young Chrissie Hynde on vocals and 'January' which is a delicate and heartbreaking folk number with Nat's sweet and alluring voice taking centre stage. Please don't let Nat be one of the great undiscovered voices of modern times. She deserves to be heard and loved." - Rough Trade Shops
"A splendid LP" - Gideon Coe
"Former Monkey Swallows The Universe chanteuse, Nat Johnson, returns with a new band, The Figureheads, and a highly listenable debut album crammed with songs about life, love, the universe and everything. Nat has a powerful yet melodic voice that lends itself to a variety of styles. ‘Wonderful Emergency’ is upbeat, jangly indie rock with a hook so catchy you could haul in a shark." - Rock and Reel
