"Its about ordinary moments turned into the extraordinary. Its about emotional attachment to place and time and the things that people our lives like passing Polaroids already fading in the light. Its about making everything up as you go, about writing your own myths and legends, about drawing personal treasure maps with the keys and symbols kept hidden in your heart. Its about simultaneously not giving away too much whilst pouring out your very soul. This is how its to begin, indeed." - tangents.co.uk
"Deloris don't really fit in with a contemporary musical context, and in an arena where guitar based music is getting more and more banal, more and more standardized and more and more background stylee their insistence on creating individuality through ingenuity can only be a good thing." - ozmusicproject.net
"The new album from Melbournes own Deloris, Fake Our Deaths, is a stark, beautiful and vital Australian record for 2004." - fasterlouder.com.au

"The Pointless Gift' shows guitarist-singer Marcus Teague as a real songwriting talent, with every song a showcase of compelling lyrics and stick-in-the-brain melodies. But he can also push the traditional perimeters of 'songs' without ever becoming tedious, even though many are lengthy, creating instead a series of fantastic journeys." - The Age, ALBUM OF THE WEEK
