Sounds Like"An astute alchemist. A hint of early Queen, a pinch of Arcade Fire...sweeping elegance. 'Wojtek Godzisz' casts an absorbing spell." - Clash (Album Review)

"One listen to the eerie 'The Wild Earth' will have you feeling like you're on Dartmoor at dusk. The name Wojtek Godzisz will soon be mispronounced by fans all over the country." - Gobshout (Album Review)

"An impressively off-kilter haze of dense psychedlia, folk-tinged melodies and a genre-bending sense of adventure. A record packed to the rafters with surprises...gloriously OTT pantomime rock. This is an undeniably trailblazing record that by all rights should cement him as one of the essential voices of 2010." - Rock Midgets 4/5 (Album Review)

"An audacious, all-conqueringly awesome affair." - Rocksound 9/10 (Album Review)

"This gypsy-inflicted man oozes obvious talent. Like a pissed Kevin Rowland trying to get a rise out of Depeche Mode while Sparks supervise the middle eight. Belting stuff." - Artrocker (Album Review)

"Really rather good." - Vice 8/10 (Album Review)

"Undeniably unique...this is the sound of a man striving to break new ground." - Kerrang! (Album Review)

"Folkish, Arcade Fire-edged rock." - Time Out

"Jim Steinman encountering Fleet Foxes on a tight budget." - Q (Album Review)

"Considered indie with folksy trimmings...retaining his capability to rock when the mood takes him." - Uncut (Album Review)

"Wojtek goes all out with orchestration for this schizophrenic romp through 70s rock's less savoury avenues. Here's betting he wears spandex on the weekends." - NME (Album Review)

"Thank fuck for this single! An uproarious, ridiculous and undebiably glorious pagan rock jig...with all the festive frivolity of your first psilocybin-fuelled barn dance. Three minutes of folk pop perfection." - Playlouder.

"Still a phenomenal stage presence, Godzisz's solo material is at once triumph over adversity and tainted with a new worldly experience." - Luminaire.

"Achingly beautiful" 4/5 - Gigwise.

"Reinvigorated as one of the UK's heroes of pop songwriting" - Plastic Ashtray.

"It's great, incase you were wondering" 8/10 - Drowned In Sound.

"Like Arcade Fire as conducted by Tim Burton" 8/10 - Planet Sound.

"Godzisz has a fantastic single on his hands... To put it simply, a thrill." - The Horn.

"One of the most unusual songs you will hear all year and love." 8/10 - Comfort Comes.

"A starkly original and impressively experimental outing...the sound of a man on top of his game." - Rock Midgets.

Really enjoyed the show last night - loving the new album as well - as an aside as a result of buying a t-shirt from you it meant I had something clean to wear to work today. Cheers.

Hello Wojtek,
Hope you're well.
Do you ever play acoustic sets? I have a date free March 24th @ Queen Boadicea if you fancy it?
Also I have a record coming out next month and have a launch party.
Hope you don't mind me posting the poster here.
