" The group describes itself as “Folk rock with a twist… actually no, it’s fairly straightforward.” With these words, the group is being somewhat coy as its songwriting and arranging are both masterful and exciting; 209 might be my favorite song on the playlist. Musically and melodically, the song recalls Songs: Ohia’s Two Blue Lights, which shares a similar harmonic progression, and the folk arranging of Alasdair Roberts. "
Eric Krewson of The Chairman Dances, Fresh On The Net / BBC Introducing Mixtape
" Influenced by the kindred spirits of Nick Drake, Beck and Joni Mitchell, tempered with an amalgamation of traditional folk and contemporary indie. Their ringing songs and musical mastery beckon towards a promising future, a solid fan base and more festival appearances than one could shake a stick at. One to watch, one to listen to, one with a long career in the making. "

" Clearly something different from what we tend to hear in the world of emerging folk artists. Mixing good lyrics, great guitars, and unique melody lines, they create an interesting atmosphere and are a really promising act. "
