ALBUM REVIEWS

SYDNEY MORNING HERALD - 4 STARS

"This is a second album carefully balanced between the sheer pleasure of pop music and the wit of smart song writing. Chandeliers songs have a casual elegance and a droll eye but they are subordinate to what feels like real emotion, meaty playing and tunes that constantly entertain. The Boat People are the real deal". (Bernard Zuel)

MESS AND NOISE
"A genuinely great Australian pop album that can comfortably stand alongside acknowledged classics like Woodface, Granddance or 16 Lover's Lane&8230;.superb mature pop music, as good as anything you will hear in this genre this year. International recognition beckons".

WHO WEEKLY - 4 STARS

COURIER MAIL - 4 STARS

TIME OFF - 4.5 STARS (ALBUM OF THE WEEK)
"Eleven blindly brilliant pop songs&8230; flawless, jangly, guitar pop for the thinking man&8230; the album is a triumph."

RAVE - 4.5 STARS (ALBUM OF THE WEEK)
"Is this a great album from The Boaties? Yesyesyesyesyes!"

THE BRAG - INDIE ALBUM OF THE WEEK


PBS - FEATURE ALBUM


BEAT - AWKWARD ORCHID ORCHARD SINGLE REVIEW
A new single from Brisbane's bliss pop maestros, Awkward Orchid Orchard continues a fine tradition of faultless hooks from this gentle crew, who have surprising depth in their sweetness and light.
