“Yes, one of those albums where you go “this one’s my favourite track”, followed by “oh no, maybe it’s one”. “Oh, but…” There’s something magical going on here. When a band still can keep evolving on their fourth album, that’s class. “ Ian Anderson, Froots

“Classy stuff” The Guardian, UK
“their jazzy sensibility and improvisational magic creates some of the most beautiful music we’ve heard this year.”
Max Reinhardt, BBC Radio 3
“Even though we’re only a week into January, I feel confident their strikingly atmospheric debut album The Village will be on my end-of-year list for 2013.” The Independent, UK
“The velvet depths of the double bass and some gorgeously breathy sax interjections are indispensable to their instantly recognisable sonic signature. On this their third and best album they continue to experiment with the new textures that materialise out of their unusual line up while remaining accessible and melody centred. Lovely stuff.” The Idependent on Sunday
The Village was nominated Songlines Music Awards 2014: http://www.songlines.co.uk/music-awards/nominees.php
