REVIEWS:
Album Review, 4/5, Classic Rock
'Hipslinky are the genuine article, adding a smattering of suburban bohemian charm and inspired songwriting An excellent and hugely commercial album.
Album Review, 8/10, Rocksound
'Like the last two decades of British guitar music distilled into one album and yet it's still so packed with commercial appeal...This is brilliant.'
