“Full of clever textures & engagingly atmospheric” (Verity Sharp, BBC Radio 3’s Late Junction)
“Trumpet, drums and electronics combine to produce bewitching soundscapes, minimal yet rich and moving” (London Jazz News)
“An organic dabble in electronic possibilities” (Jazzwise)
“Evocative music with a strongly atmospheric and highly cinematic quality” (The Jazz Mann)
“They continually surprise, charm and challenge, creating very personal and distinctive music that is always, vividly alive. A genuine Bristol treasure” (jazzyblogman.wordpress.com)
“Amazingly symphonic. The ideal place for their music would be a cathedral, perhaps, or a clifftop, or maybe an asteroid” (The Bristol Post)
“Bristol’s answer to Nordic Noir, the spare precision of drumkit paired with haunting FX-mutated trumpet echoing back from a cliff-bound fjord has an ageless simplicity that belies how subtle and clever the music is” (Bristol 24/7)
“Underneath floating clouds of trumpet come real drums, simple and perfect. It sounds like two real people are in a room somewhere, playing this stratospheric music. Simplicity and humanity: it is beautiful.” (Listomania Bath)
