totally mesmirising, this is an album which proves difficult to turn off’ Maverick (full review) ‘Taking
obvious cues from Cat Stevens from start to finish Matthew Neel has
successfully set himself apart from the crowd on this far-reaching debut
album and has clearly worked hard to redeem the title of the
singer/songwriter’ Bearded Magazine (full review) ‘snappy
lyricism and black heart.. a competent and assured debut that promises much
for the future’ Americana-UK (full
review) ‘The guitar
playing and vocals in particular are very powerful.. the cryptic nature of
the lyrics resemble Elliot Smith and the overall playful nature of the 'gypsy
folk' music resemble Camper Van Beethoven. All in all, this is a very
interesting sound that works extremely well with Matthew's songwriting
abilities’ MicControl.com (full
review) ‘a sombre
piece of art which is strangely alluring and mesmerising’ Awal.com (full review) |
