In the words of the
critics....
"Beautifully pastoral debut."
MOJO
****
"Wonderful"
Observer Music Monthly
****
"An autumnal mist
of British Bank Holiday ennui surrounds Nick Hemming's literate
meditations."
The Times
****
"Music to cuddle up to, music to clutch
yourself to, music that is, as Jimmy Webb might say, necessary. This is a band
that could well be the sound of 2009."
Maverick Magazine
****
"A
lovingly crafted, tender folk record that will secure them as a named brand on
the shelves of pop. The love affair begins."
Ragged Words
"Magical...
shimmers with loveliness"
Word Magazine
"This is a record of
extraordinary depth that stays with you long after the final notes have faded."
Notion
"Fragile, beautifully orchestrated and restrained."
The
Guardian
"Unflinching clarity and a sense of longing...a uniquely British
take on Americana; almost as if Scott Walker or Nick Drake had 'gone country',
making music for coalminers rather than cowboys."
The Independent On
Sunday
9/10
"As moving as Elbow, as stirring as The Delgados, it's wholly
magical."
Teletext
8/10
"Genuinely beautiful... timeless."
Fact
Magazine
"Album of the day : 24.03.09"
BBC 6 Music
"Album of the week
: If it doesn't get a Mercury nomination then I'm a monkey's uncle"
Tuna The
Day.com
"Album of the week : A perfect and timeless album of wintry
romanticism that will warm your soul."
Rough Trade..

afternoon show, and tickets are sure to sell fast, so dont hesitate to get yours
