Sounds Like: “…sun-warmed folk, reflective and soulful…inhabiting a world where electric guitars gently buzz, a trumpet softly blows and the vocals are a murmur among pristine melodiesâ€
Ged M SoundsXp.com
“…delightfully maudlin trumpet interjections…vocals which positively ache with sadnessâ€

“a beautiful accompaniment to the Summer… sketched out with sounds that dazzle even from distant horizons. Compelling.â€

"‘This City Draws Maps’ is a heartbreakingly romantic record of acoustic lullabies and soft, hushed vocals that give you goose bumps all over and a serious case of the shivers"

“These are tender optimistic songs about acceptance of life's ups and downs, sincere and self-assured.â€
Sandman Magazine (April)
“At times electric guitars melt into the sound, making them sound like Iron & Wine meets Nick Drake's orchestration on Brighter Layter. This isn't twee Englishishness but good story writing layered over strong blues roots, leaving you quietly optimistic."
Sophie Kemp Sandman Magazine
“…they play delicate sounds of astounding beauty that have left me near speechless.â€
Neal Addison Sandman Magazine
“The Rosie Taylor Project - playful... bashful... soulful...never woeful...WONDERFUL!"
Marc Riley, 6 Music
"From this start The Rosie Taylor Project are masters in gentle respite and warmth, a craft sounding like Nick Drake in romantic company, stopping over for a week at Stuart Staples' French cottage with a shitload of wine."
High Voltage
"A more polite version of arab strap"
Johnny Ersatz-Culture, Sandman Magazine
"an intimate style that echoes the emotional drama of iLiKETRAiNS and the downbeat alt-country ways of Iron & Wine or Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy"
