“This is a really charming ray of sunshine in the normally moonlit world of rye: a bit like a world-weary Morrissey or Neil Hannon lamenting smalltown life over a backing that sounds like REM, but with Bryan ferry on electric piano. A perversely funny, touching, 'happily sad' piece of perfect pop. Great tune: a real grower. Verse, bridge, chorus... middle 8... check. Overdiven guitar, check. Steady odd, christopher. If you're not careful you'll crack a smile and write a hit.”

“Sounds like a retro club hit to me: one part Depeche Mode, one part nu-metal. Sort of like the anti-Cher goes clubbing. Gothic but not Goth. Insanely catchy. A single? ”

“Blimey....christopher rye suddenly, and rather brilliantly, morphs into Beck for this very funky piece of alternative pop about endlessly cocking up your life. I like the way the vocal morphs into different characters a well... neat. Very un-rye-like, but very good.”

“This is my favourite song on what is, I have to say, a stunner of an album. I downloaded it from the preview as it sounded Coldplay-like (circa their new album) with a lovely piano hook, but the song turns out to be a lush, dreamy seductive ballad that's weirdly sexy with Floydian harmonies and a vaguely Byronic lyric. What a great singer this guy is turning into.... one of the major strengths of this brilliant set. Give this guy a listen... a cllection that is a giant leap forwards in terms of songs.”

“Ethereal and catchy, enveloping downtempo. Elsiane has a beautiful voice and isn't afraid to get weird with it.”

“Hauntingly beautiful downtempo track. A Dido + Moby + Sade collaboration would sound just like this.”

“Catchy beat, clever lyrics and this weird electro-pop-rap-indie-buzz vibe that they pull off oh so well. And it's free.”

“If Paul Simon got into indie pop and wrote another musical, this would be the best song on the soundtrack. I dig dig it!”
