Steafán Hanvey's debut is a rare delight.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
---Lyrically, Hanvey travels to some dark places. His song craft is shot through a wide-eyed optimism.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
---You may have already encountered the record's lead single, 'Hundred Days of Snow', an uplifting swirl of dissonance and sunshine. On radio, it sounds infectiously sweet. Here it is less distinguished-a back-handed commendation that says something for the impressive quality of the rest of the LP.
HOTPRESS/DUBLIN>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
---Steafán Hanvey's debut belies the long journey that precedes it.
---His voice oozes warmth and a confessional charm. A lean, longing collection.
THE IRISH TIMES>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
---The album offers minimalist melodies replenished by moments of nearly absolute silence keeping you in rapt attention.

"NIXA possess a quality that sets them apart from other front runners on the alt/rock scene with perfect dynamics and incredible song craft. They bounce between gentle and aggressive in a single beat, tied with soaring harmonies and mesmerising stage presence. This band will find themselves being listened to by a wide audience, no doubts in both the alternative and commercial rock scenes" TOTAL ROCK
