PRAISE FOR "TOKON & THE COLOURS"

Voila des Anglais qui ne devraient pas tarder à faire parler d’eux. Bien que ce soit déjà leur troisième album, l’explosion de leur « Future Folk » semble assurée ! Londres leurs à déjà ouvert les bras (et tous les chemins de la pop mènent à Londres – évidemment). En tout cas, on est tombé sous le charme de ce court album par ici. Coup de cœur du moi ! (Disponible).
(http://www.radiocampusrennes.fr/)

"Urbantramper albums should come with a health warning. They are addictive in a charmingly disquieting way.
... A contender for album of the year."
* * * * * 5/5 (Mike Alexander- SUNDAY STAR TIMES)

"wow. He's been hinting at it with the first two albums, but this new record, lake has truly nailed it. Its outstanding. ...get this record...its pretty incredible...."(Blink- A LOW HUM)

"I heard a song on student radio early this year and immediately fell in love with it.... Sun Sets On The Empty Carnival... Tokon & the Colours is a patient and romantic album .......will hit a note with Belle and Sebastian fans...How Urbantramper gets away with being so earnest I don't know, but he does and it works..."
Rating:4/5 (Kat Cox- WAIKATO TIMES)

"Urbantramper...makes...beautiful, charming and enchanting music that manages to capture both the melancholy and the joy of... well, being, I suppose...Is your life-view a little bit in the shade and a bit in the light? ...That, most of the time the answer isn't yes or no? ...Then this, I wager, will be something you enjoy?"
(AT- CHEESE ON TOAST)

"Tokon & The Colours is the brilliant 3rd album from self-described ‘Treeninja’ Lake. The songs are soft, and often acoustic with a sprinkling of instruments – drums, maracas, gentle bass, warped electronic noises, trumpets and glockenspiel ...warm, soft, down to earth and filled with lyrical summer lullabies.... This album reminds me of summer picnics under warm, cloudless skies, and lazy, sleepy days... It’s the kind of music that reminds you what peace there is in taking a moment to relax and think, ...remembering that sometimes you just need to slow down and appreciate life that goes on around you..."
(Sophie Barclay- SALIENT))

We love your stuff as you know already.. can you help??

We have an outstanding song we wish to be published for another artist or released as is. It has everything from superb backing harmonies from a quire to a blistering solo and well thought out melody lines. Please hear the song on our myspace soon, it has the backing of the press and radio as it standing this month. We wish to raise money for charity with it's sale. If you care about children please hear the song out. The song is called "Children in need". Can you help or know someone who can aid us on our quest? Please comment back on our myspace to at least give us encouragement to make this happen. God bless you.. we would be honored to hear from you.
