"In which two English folk heroes collaborate on an exhilarating and unexpected new project. Jim Moray first shook up the folk scene in 2003 with his experimental album Sweet England, while Sam Carter is best known as a thoughtful singer-songwriter with a fascination for American shape-note hymns. Now they are co-leaders of a bravely original folk-rock band. False Lights play mostly traditional songs, now transformed with full-tilt electric guitar work from both Moray and Carter (...), and they succeed because they are also both fine, no-nonsense singers who concentrate on the narrative of their songs".

"Born from an apparently drunken conversation between Jim Moray and Sam Carter, Salvor is a take-no-prisoners unapologetic folk rock album that brings the genre screaming into the 21st Century without once losing sight of its origins".

"Carter, Moray and their chums put their own spin on folk-rock in a way that just about sidesteps suggestions of pastiche or that they are a tribute band. Not that they do anything radically different but, while their Skewball sounds a bit like Steeleye back in the days, the old nag has never run with so much glory, fuelled by ferocious drumming, an overload of feedback and exceptionally volatile electric guitar. And generally they play with such joy and relish it's nigh on impossible not to be sucked in ... What might easily have turned into folk's Spinal Tap is rather wonderful and could actually be a game changer for all those involved - and perhaps even the scene generally".
