"Standing out from an admittedly impressive crowd on here are The Battles Of Winter, whose swirling epics of skyscraping beauty recall Slowdive if they’d been given a quirky scousepop twist by the likes of Wylie, McCulloch and Cope. The incendiary ’I Became A Station’ quite simply stands out like a luminous red painted lighthouse in the clear night sky, and can only be a mild precursor to greater things for them in the future." - Drowned in Sound

"Track one is by The Battles Of Winter, and sounds not unlike Morrissey singing over a Neil Young electric guitar frenzy." - Playlouder
