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)

BEAT - AWKWARD ORCHID ORCHARD SINGLE REVIEW
