Sounds LikeBBC Introducing with Tom Robinson on 6music

Praise for Don't Have Far To Go:

"A lovely, organic, earthy sound." Tom Robinson, BBC 6 Music

"A triumph, and the real thriller is the realisation that there's still no knowing how much better they can get." The Mag

"A soulful, gospel-tinged five and a half minutes of musical bliss." Get Ready To Rock

"Extremely impressive... effortlessly sublime. A beautiful listen." The Music Fix

"A gorgeous, heady piece of acoustic-based pop." Amped

"Transports you somewhere deep into the fields of Avalon on some sun-drenched afternoon in late June. Don't Have Far To Go urges the listener onwards and upwards..." All Gigs

"Button pushing, anthemic country-pop. You will love it." Unpeeled

"Unique... a gospel vocal track (with) various layerings of guitar, keys and more contemporary production... I'm going to celebrate by going to get baptised." Tasty Fanzine

"Classic songwriting... It should be interesting to see how they progress." Indie London
