Sounds Like:"Empty Vessels are certainly not on any bandwagon. Uncompromising, intricate and thoroughly ruthless in concocting something unique." - Joey Sandinista, Damn Pest

"The real stars of the Parlour 9 sessions have to be London's Empty Vessels. The frontman's voice drips with a sleazy character which couldn't be flattened by any sort of recording. The freakishly good 'Monkey' is lyrically simple and is surprisingly brilliant. Blurry, reverberating guitar fizzes in and out of a bristling, controlling bass - to be topped off with a shriekish monkey-call crescendo. 'It's No Guilty Pleasure' possesses a rasping, in face Jagger/Bowie quality and feels satisfyinly over the top. The problem posed by the delicious Empty Vessels; would they sound even better with a greased turd [non lo-fi] recording? We must wait and see." - Davina Earl, Gigwise
