Press for the album:
"absolutely mesmerising...the best album from an Irish band in 2008." (ulstermusic.com)
"stirring, moving and incredibly powerful...a refreshingly different approach and sound" (Belfast Telegraph)
"8 out of 10" (Alternative Ulster)
"And so Three Tales unspool their stories, their arcane journeys and the whispered intensity of 'Variation', which steals a bit from a Louis MacNeice poem and turns up the guitars near the end. There's a similar deal with 'A Cast Of Hawks', miniature stories and melodic drifts. It's a bit Old Testament and a tad Steve Albini. If you can reference such stuff, you're on it.
And so it journeys, from the Ulster Bible belt to the indie heartlands. The songs are whittled away like an old guy will work at a piece of wood, methodically and without excess drama...
...this is a record that was worth making" (Stuart Bailie, BBC)
"Great... a nicely judged mix of twinkling, ringing and occasionally caustic guitars, funereal keys and deathly, dandering percussion." (Irish News)
