"Composer/producer/vocalist Andrew Phillips and manager/musician Marcus O'Dair (who wrote last year's superb biography of Robert Wyatt) fuse themes, including identity, home, familiarity and ancestry, with an impressive if not immersive array of song, ambient textures and layered electronica.Coming across like a mix of early Pink Floyd, classic Pet Shop Boys, Lemon Jelly, Nick Drake and extracts from the Bodleian Library catalogue, this is beautifully simple music - as much experimental as pop-oriented".

"This is that rare slab of post-rock that uses the genre's textures and general ethos of exploration to create new sounds instead of rehashing old ones. Though Phillips' lyrics are often chilly, abounding with images of freezing water and fallow fields, there's a genuine warmth here remarkably absent of pretense or the weepy e-bow heroics that post-rock has grown so fond of".
