"This isn’t just another bloke with an acoustic guitar.....painstakingly rich arrangements, carefully layered with guitars, keys and harmonies. Nick Miller seeks the spectacular, without ever being melodramatic...making this the perfect song for cold winter nights. MMMM ½'' Manchestermusic.co.uk ------
"Beautiful, delicate love songs, their rich voices blending over flowing finger-picking. They have a warm, sleepy folky country sound reminiscent of Mojave 3 at their prettiest." Manchestermusic.co.uk ------
“There’s an honesty and fragility, giving a sense of intimacy that make the songs all the more striking. If you let it, ‘War Of The Roses’ could both warm and break your heart. 4/5 ” CityLife ------
"Thoughtful, poignant and often deeply moving, Crompton’s Mule drives and drills the most tender and restrained of punches, Glow swells and gleams with gentle glory, and Falter (The Torch Song) delivers one of the most understated and elegant duets you’ll hear all year…….you end up with an album that is genuinely startling and subtly beguiling. The reality of it might come as a surprise but it is the most pleasant one you’ll have all year." BBC Manchester

Nursery Rhymes is fucking brilliant,i love it with the new drum beats and reworked vocals. If thats not gonna be in your new full band set ill be very gutted.One of my favourite songs ive heard of yours, my new numero uno nick.
It sounds a bit like you had sex with Gnarls Barkley. Then Gnarls had a half white half fat black kid grow inside him. Then the child explodes out of his chest, immediately picks up a guitar and blasts out a cool funky soul number.
