"Instantly identifiable and sounding like absolutely nobody else, Alasdair Roberts can now be classified as one of those rare artists who's invented his own category ... Trad folk, nu folk, anti-folk, weirdlore et al may try to claim him but Roberts follows his own nose and, while he has an ear for a catchy chorus and a memorable melody, that nose takes him into some wonderfully unhinged places ... It's an album that can be loved on so many levels - trying to unravel those complex lyrics, enjoying the jokes wrapped up in it, singing along with the singalongable bits, dancing to those gung-ho instrumental outbursts - or just letting it wash gloriously all over you".
