'....A minute into the opening song '100,000 thoughts', and ive lost my
heart -I can't understand a single word, the singer is so rapturous, the
harmonies so golden, but who cares? Let's sing! Lyrics never translate into print.
That's why they're lyrics. Second song 'She Does'nt Belong' tumbles and
soars for the stars like a cross between th aformentioned Chills and my
Nineties Irish crush The Frank and Walters, and yes...I'm sold.The way
the vocals vibrate, mic overloaded. The way the drums come pounding
through solid and friendly. The guitars that nestle snugly up to the
other guitars. And of course, its all about the sound, not just the
song - Phil Spector, Sonic Youth and The Ramones understood that, as
did flying Nun, why don't more artists?....' Everett True- PLAN B MAGAZINE
“These songs seem forced into the world by a buckling, overcrowded brain.
The popcraft exhibited is light enough and "now" enough to reduce the
listener to booster-mush on a first listen. "Here Cometh" is an arch offering
of Kinks blues, while "Off the Beaten Track" imagines a bizarro Belle &
Sebastian preoccupied with Kinks rock. Taming psychedelia and punk
into sloppy/pristine DIY pop. I could listen to ‘desperately talented frontman’
Thomas Sanders sing "can't" like "Kant" all day, and all of the night "
