"...everything's been stripped down, but every note counts, creating a delicate, acute melancholy. Indeed, nothing is lost; a beautiful album." **** - Rock n Reel
"Expertly understated ...a beauty built upon intertwining guitar picking patterns and the hammers of a piano somewhere dropping as if by the grace of gravity alone in all the perfect places." **** - Maverick
"Things in Herds are members of the fine Scottish Fence Collective. Reasonably far-flung members, as they’re based in Brighton. And if you were to buy Nothing Is Lost hoping for some more of the restrained, melodic acoustic music you associate with Fence’s King Creosote or James Yorkston — the stuff you start out thinking is really rather good, but gradually realise is so much better than that — you wouldn’t be at all disappointed. The singer-songwriter Pete Lush has cut everything back to the bone, musically and lyrically, so effectively that a quiet female harmony or a single drum hit arrives in the songs with the power of a wall of sound." **** - The Sunday Times
"A rewarding and under-stated release of longing, loving and losing, this is perfect for those quiet, reflective moments... " - WhisperinandHollerin
"...not one for parties." - Clash Magazine |
