"The Crookes have ambition and flare and a singer with a beautiful voice; one of those special, poetic voices which dips and soars above their jangling guitars"
"they're harnessing the grace and guts of old-time swing and woozy Barbershop harmonies - packaging it up as the latest indie-disco bread'n'butter"
NME
"They're more like one of those urchin folk-inflected collectives such as Larrikin Love (RIP) or even Noah & the Whale, with hints of the winsome, lose-some C86 brigade, the Smiths at their twee-est (say, circa The Boy With the Thorn in His Side), the plaintive jangle of the Housemartins, even Belle and Sebastian."
The Guardian
"'By The Seine' sounds like Dog On Wheels as channelled by Beirut circa 'The Penalty'. And very beau it is too."
Drowned in Sound
"The Crookes sound like their musical hearts are owned by both a reverence for storytelling and 1960s pop songwriting, and a faint nostalgia for times gone by.
They come across like a gang of dreamers who see the world in pretty sepia tones, where delicate guitar pickings and finger clicks become jangly C86-style outbursts, topped with a lyrical streak of whimsy romanticism"

We just heard we're not gonna be playing Dig with you now. Something about the venues' music license only letting them book two bands...? Hopefully we'll get to play with you soon though? Take care, GD x
Hello chaps, it was good to meet you the other night, and very good to hear you. I'm a bit hooked on the you-oo-oo part of "Chorus of Fools" now. Hope the rest of the tour goes awesomely, it'd be nice to do another gig together at some point. Be happy :) Tom x
