"The Fates is a great record, blessed with snags of understated charm, originality and pure lambent beauty" 4/5 Shindig Magazine December 2014

"The Fates rolling wordplay recalls Kevin Ayers; all wry wit and melancholy"
7/10 Uncut December 2014

“The Fates is an album that is fatally backwards-looking; not in any blindly retro sense, but in its love for the very act of looking back, pining for the past merely because it is the past and seeking not to recreate it but to luxuriate in loss, and the paradoxical beauty and romance of age, distance and decay”
The Quietus, December 2014
