Media Coverage:

We are benefiting from a fair amount of coverage across all media platforms at the moment, we would like to thank everyone that's supported the album to date across the web, press & radio. It's amazing that we've had such positive feedback and it's hugely uplifting.

Marc Riley has asked us in for a radio session on May 10th, so please tune in!

Here's what people have been saying so far:

WORD Magazine: "A terrific LP full of incidental music for soothing the savage breast and making you look forward to summer. If you don't like this record, well, get over yourself."

Adam Walton, BBC Wales Music Blog: "Breathtaking in a most unshowy way. Life Stream is as accomplished, thoughtful and lovingly-crafted as any album will hear this year. Essential listening."

Bethan Elfyn: "Absolute soaring loveliness. A highly anticipated album."

Gideon Coe, 6Music: "Very, very, very ,very good. A splendid piece of work."

Marc Riley. 6Music: Absolutely beautiful."

AbsolutePunk: "Easily one of the best and most beautiful instrumental folk-rock albums that you will probably come across - it's simply lovely. Whether you check it out because of their name, or because you like the genre, this is an album that you should not miss out on."

That's all for now, but we hope to see you at a show at some point in May!
