| Sounds Like | "..its delightful stuff. It's the horn section that makes the songs special, cushioning the tunes and gently ushering them along. This is over-populated folk pop at its best; they have some cracking tunes of which 'shackleton bewley' and the climactic 'skyscraper' are the best."
Russell Barker - Nightshift Magazine Nov 08
".. they hit you with a lullaby-soft shanty like 'The Squid & The Whale', which is quite lovely and not a million miles away from Emmy the Great. At every turn they manage to keep their songs short and rather sweet, ukulele and squeezebox adding to the rough, pastoral nature of the music, like something from a Jeffrey Lewis waking dream, and 'Apple Trees' is a charmingly lo-fi bucolic croon that sounds exactly like we imagine Fairport Convention might have sounded like had Sandy Denny grown up listening to The Pastels, several years after her untimely demise. If you know what we mean."
Nightshift Magazine Sept 09
"evoking 60's kitchensink bubblegum and perfect pastoral pop, they create sweetist minimalist folk where words and instruments (though there are many, including ukuele, clarinet, trumpet, melodica, harmonium, oboe and various percussion) are used sparingly to create precise yet shambolic pop masterpieces - the kind that the kids of bristol do so well (think IKIHNC, freeze puppy, my two toms, lacuna, fránçois, etc)."
