Sounds Like: "curiously arresting... weave together mightily fine, intricate guitar-work draped in a Joy-Divisionesque kind of darkness with impressively solid drumming from chops-man Christopher Roe-French.
This is all underpinned by violinist Sian Williams' strings, which adds an graceful, almost majestic air to proceeding, providing a optimistic ray of light to the darkness which otherwise envelops. It seems like it really shouldn't work but makes it all the more pleasurable that it does, the sum being truly greater than the parts" - The Fly"More violins with Cat Matador at the
Wheatsheaf, combining well with the chiming
guitars, creating a high-octane form of indie rock
that veers between epic and introspective but with
enough force and character to keep the large crowd
fully engaged" - Nightshift Magazine"part pop and part misery" - Oxfordbands.com"Indubidable" - BBC Oxford Introducing"Unsigned quartet from the ....U.K..... who serve us with 5 tracks of reflective indie rock. Think shoe gaze with strings, which at times remind me of John Cale's playing with The Velvet Underground ;-) The use of the violin to respond to a clanging guitar on "Soren" is cool. The instrumentation certainly adds an edge to the introspection. A sort of rockier, raunchier (but not too much) version of Kyte their music twists and turns you around its finger. I really liked "Eyes" which sounded a bit like something from The Cure" - A dutch guy named Paul“Instrumental excellence with the hookest of hooky guitar lines†- Blog of Daisy Rodgers and Hot Rod?"Cajun Dance Party, The National and The Flaming Lips all in a blender!!! this band's seriously brilliant!!!" - Bugbear
