   About Strike the Colours
**************************************************************** Jenny Reeve and associates.... Released a record on June the 18th this year entitled "The Face That Sunk A Thousand Ships". For more information, feel free to get in touch, check the blogs or go to the homepage. Here's what some people wrote about it................................................................................................. "a subtle and expertly crafted display of folk-inflected guitar pop, Reeve's confident songs showcasing her delectable voice and skills with both violin and guitar." (The Scotsman) ******************************************************************** "Reeve's breathy, translucent whisper floats over The Face That Sunk A Thousand Ships with the charm of an elegiac butterfly. Laced in rolling country guitars and slinking piano waltzes, tracks like Bare Legs In A Storm or Safety In Numbers are tender sultry affairs that emit a gorgeous heart-melting glow." (The Skinny) ******************************************************************* " All six tracks are thoroughly alluring things: spectral, melodious indie folk whispers, wrapped in country-tinged strings and chiming piano." (The List) ******************************************************************** "A wonderful little mini album-it's soft, gentle guitar-influenced folk features maudlin violins. Choose Me is bright and breezy with a catchy hook, Bare Legs In A Storm has a gentle waltz-like effect and Reeve's voice is crisp and clear. Perfect summer listening." (The Sunday Mail)
