THE SOUND
“Significantly influenced by the indie pop/rock music of the 80’s, the album is a mishmash of melodic, dark oriented compositions and maybe that lists them in the category of bands like Interpol, The xx or Deerhunter. Having lovely catatonic – but at a times powerful – female vocals, warm melodies that melt your soul like an Xmas candle, haunted synths and sharp guitar riffs, they could guide you safely and wonderfully to their well-structured songs with aerial harmonies.”– Ares Buras – beehype [beehy.pe] on Homeward Bound – December 2015
“If you’re a fan of Wolf Alice then this is the band for you as they display a real talent at producing some gorgeous soundscapes. Only 9 tracks long, but Homeward Bound is a real eye opening, mind mellowing listen. I love it. […] If you’re into the sounds of atmospheric gloominess complete with bursts of sunshine and wonderful melodic thunder then this is the record for you. – Adam Reeve – Exploding Head Syndrome on Homeward Bound – December 2015
«Συνεπής και φροντισμένη ποπ, με γυναικεία φωνητικά που βοηθάνε το αισθητικό αποτέλεσμα και με ιδέες που χωρίς να είναι ανατρεπτικές δημιουργούν μια ίντριγκα. Αυτό που λες «ενθαρρυντικό ντεμπούτο» – Μάκης Μηλάτος – Athens Voice – November 2015
