Sounds Like: "Blessed with the same life affirming melodies and jangle of Dirty Pretty Things, The Pistachios deliver a lot of promise with their demo, the female vocals adding much needed depth to the melodies, one’s to keep an eye on!" - Subba-Cultcha.co.uk
"The Pistachios have a warm glow around them; their brand of sing along songwriting is both at times enchanting and unpretentious. They both can sing, and sing together well." - The Plastic Ashtray.co.uk (for full review go here )
"Music you can sit back and relax to and just let the notes take you away. Their high energy radiates a warm glow from their very being throughout every note, keeping you completely hooked and listening. There's a perfect twist of gentle and soft to a bit edgier and dark, which makes for a surprising listen!"- Infused zine
"I'm sorry I can't resist. You would be nuts to ignore this recording, 'cause this duo definitely ain't green. Consisting of Sarah Morrey and Richard Kavanagh, The Pistachios, deliver a highly energetic ep that features some great vocal dynamics as Richard and Sarah switch lead and harmony vocals during the course of the songs. They make it all sound so simple, the songs are really stripped back, but surprisingly complex under the surface. You feel that this is a band that can't quite decide to be gentle with you or cut you to the bone."- Fatea Music Reviews, News & Services
"Comparisons are difficult, as they appear to be playing for the love of music and not trying too hard to sound like anyone in particular. This is refreshing and results in an easy, uncomplicated listen stuffed full of simple acoustic pleasures- handclaps, tambourine, muted strumming and a frankly ace "Yeah Yeah Yeah" from the female vocalist."- Glasswerk.co.uk
