So powerful without ever reaching full-throttle.

Farewell are here to remind us that music is supposed to be, and certainly can be, very fun indeed.

You might just smile; and at the end of the day, isn’t that what it’s all about?

‘So Called Summer’ is the musical equivalent of journeying through the four seasons in just over three and a half minutes.

A very good first effort and a big statement from an actress turned musician.

An atmospheric experience, perhaps left expecting a Vincent Price narrative at any time.

The melody is one of beautiful simplicity, but layered beneath it is something much darker than the music suggests.

This is magical, so much so that the language is irrelevant.

‘Taxi’ could be one of the most interesting things to come out of 2008.

Few artists are able to conjure up this brooding atmosphere and still keep the sound fresh as she does, and that makes her a special talent.

Their new sound will be debated by purists but this new single shows considerable class.

You can guarantee that this will be played to death at indie-discos up and down the country.

They’ve passed the first test, lets just hope these rebels keep rollin’.

As beautifully honest as it is despairing.

A sign of things to come from a diverse and important album.
