"Instrumentally, the use of accordion, guitar and clarinet allows them to flow around Europe, sucking the influences of Moorish Spain and North Africa, the Middle East, Eastern Europe, reinforcing the point that origins do not matter, what you care about matters ... So, I am struck by the fact that it's cool, it's jazzy and it's got great harmonies. It won't fit in a box so don't try, and perhaps it may not be what you expect but this is an album for repeat play. Excellent".

"Top of the world" - "Their first album, according to this Brussels-based trio of former street musicians, is all about 'taking a stance and taking space, being bold, powerful and vulnerable.' Featuring harmonies as sweet as the Unthank sisters', words spoken and sung in English, French, Spanish (and more) that are both intimate and potent, and delicate, tasteful arrangements redolent of multifarious generic influences, this often exquisite debut exudes confidence. The three young vocalists are Amber in 't Veld on acoustic guitar, Sura Solomon on accordion and ukulele and Marieke Werner, whose standout clarinet playing turns the instrumental 'Strange Growth' into a gorgeous mournful interlude ... The blend of harmonies and spoken slam poetry is always steeped in heartfelt and captivating sincerity. 'Soaked' is a memorable emotional ride from melancholia to euphoria and back again".
