Album Notes

"...a remarkable thing - a strange lo-fi tardis of an album whose nine subtle songs unroll from the speakers like a soundtrack to some bedsit kingdom...the thrill here is great songwriting with an appearance of effortlessness. "
The Word

“… like a bedroom Radiohead…an inspired arranger and sonic visionary throughout these nine DIY voyages into sound… skittering electronic aesthetics, experimentation, and impressive shards of noise.”
Americana UK

"… solid from start to finish, there isn't a bad track on the album… his level of consistency over the years without any major financial backing is something that can only be admired. Acoustic fans could do worse than to pick up this long player.”
AllGigs.co.uk

“ …accomplished and grown-up, his 20 self-released album experience shines through .”
Joe’s Big Toe Fanzine

“...echoes of classic Scottish guitar pop …a soundtrack for the shadows, I can see this album having a resonance for a lot of people in these days of recession and depression.”.
Bluesbunny Music Reviews

“...uncommonly delicate …there is a lot to enjoy on this album, especially if you have some spare time to lie perfectly still”
Is This Music

“…subtle…a pastoral dreamlike atmosphere... rich with experience …different enough to mark him out as a true independent artist.”
Leonard’s Lair

“...he is that rare beast, a man who has managed to maintain an enviable level of creativity whilst never conceding to the demands of the mainstream...Haswell's voice is a cracked, expressive instrument ..consistently engaging ... there are some great melodies and hooks hidden amongst the record's layers of loops, synths and guitar.”
