"**** It's bloody marvelous." -SUNDAY TIMES

"**** An inspiring meditation on exile and return." -THE GUARDIAN

"**** Seductive." -MOJO

"**** Melodic and affecting." -Q

"Delightful ... poetic and effortlessly gorgeous." -THE WORD

"Lovely ... relevant, modern and orchestral ... these are songs for a range of emotion." -THE NATIONAL POST

"Extravagant shows of brasses or strings spiral out ... Hamilton's light, resilient voice is tailor-made for mulling on the deceits and realities of what we see and do." -THE GLOBE AND MAIL

"Strings soar ... and voices blend like a cool breeze hitting the ocean mist ... Woodpigeon take flight with an ease that their name wouldn't make you believe." -EXCLAIM!

"Understated beauty with an unshakable longing ... meet your new indie folk heroes." -SUBBA-CULTCHA

"Hamilton's delightfully dour and lovelorn lyrics and sprightly, sweetly mellow music, makes the morse seem wholly palatable ... accomplished, quietly intelligent, playful and really rather enchanting." -BBC

"Rich acoustic chamber pop with quietly barbed lyrics." -UNCUT

"A tapestry of plaintive guitar, shuffling snare drums, twinkling glockenspiel and handclaps ... from swirling blizzard chamber-pop to hushed alt.country ... adrift in sweeping landscapes." -METRO

"A perfect balance of grandeur and intimacy, delight and melancholy. Treasury is a left-field gem ... you can’t help but fall in love with." -CHROMEWAVES

"The next great Canadian breakout band." NOW

...AND AS THE SHIP WENT DOWN, YOU'D NEVER LOOKED FINER Black Cab Session.

I've bought your album Songbook, and I love it. I've got another cd in, a EP (6 songs), and the songs are perfect. It's very welled singed, composed...the sound is very good. A good surprise, cause I didn't know you before.

Great NXNE review in Exclaim Magazine, 'Hamilton's natural storytelling prowess and wry sense of humour rounded out an already layered showcase. Incidentally, few songwriters can pull off a folk-ish, comic-strip-inspired ballad, but Hamilton did it without relying on irony'
