"Changing to CD’s, but sticking with the folk theme, Dumb Angel evokes the spirit of Nick Drake covering Red House Painters on their latest album “I Woke Up This Morning”. Commencing with the title track, the music is delicate and hazy, wistful lyrics matched by sympathetic playing and a warm centre. Throughout the ten tracks the band keep the same feel, wandering melodies enriched by strong arrangements and deft touches with “Twenty Three” and “Galaxies and Suns” really hitting the spot for me. Also available is “Ghost Dance”, the debut album from the band. Equally as good and even more fragile, this is another collection of drifting, gentle songs that should appeal to fans of Iron and Wine, Jamie Barnes, or Kings of Convenience." - www.terrascope.co.uk
