24/7 Magazine Review, "Watching the Dark Move"
"Steadily ploughing their own furrow of progressive neo-folk are Plymouths Dharma Bums. But dont expect any native roots manouvers on debut album proper 'Watching the Dark Move'. As their entrancing and understated live shows attest, the Bums operate in a parallel acoustic sphere - one where gentle guitar caresses, plaintive violins and Nick Cave-esque keys provide the most desolately melancholic of backdrops to Jonny Powell's ineffably melodramatic croon: to all intents, the sound of Conor Oberst having a panic attack. Or rapturous revelation. Or both. Either way, the likes of 'Everything Depends' provide the perfect soundtrack to the lives of those with a more autumnal disposition. Lord knows we need one."

Type of Label: Unsigned
