about

"MAGNIFICENTLY CRAFTED, 'THE SPIRIT LEVEL' IS A TRULY OUTSTANDING WORK OF RARE QUALITY. 10/10."
(whisperinandhollerin)

"HE IS A COMPLEX PEICE OF WORK, THERE IS CERTAINLY A HEAP OF QUALITY IN THIS MAN'S SOUL. GENRES ASIDE, WHAT IS VERY CLEAR IS THAT HE POSSESSES A FANTASTIC VOICE, ONE OF THOSE 'YOU'RE-HAUNTING-ME-AND-I-CAN'T-DO- ANYTHING-ABOUT-IT' TYPES. SHEER BLISS."
(Nme Europe)

"THE SPIRIT LEVEL IS A CURIOUSLY AFFECTING COLLECTION OF SONGS, UNDERSTATED YET TOUCHING. THE LAYERS BUILD, EBB AND FLOW AND SLOWLY CREEP UNDER YOUR SKIN, 'THE SPIRIT LEVEL' IS ALL ABOUT CAREFUL ARRANGEMENTS THAT SERVE TO CREATE MAXIMUM ATMOSPHERE AND SUBTLY EMOTIVE LYRICS DELIVERED IN A MANNER THAT DRAWS THE LISTENER IN." (whisperinandhollerin)

"HE USES HIS VOICE TO GREAT EFFECT ON THIS ALBUM OF LOVELY MELODIES WHICH ARE DECEPTIVELY SIMPLE; BUT GIVE THEM A FEW LISTENS AND THEY WILL BURROW THEIR WAY INTO YOUR HEAD IN THE BEST POSSIBLE WAY. THERE IS ALSO A GORGEOUS WARMTH TO THEM THAT PULLS YOU CLOSE AND HOLDS YOU THERE." (Crack Magazine)

"THESE TRACKS PAINT A DREAMLIKE ACOUSTIC BACKDROP, HIS FINELY DRAWN BALLADS DISPLAY A SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF HEART AND CHARM."
(Channel 4 Planet Sound)
