Blessed with a strangely soothing bass-baritone voice, this debut might well come under the ‘freak folktronica’ if that’s the label you want to bandy about. Personally, it’s just great to hear a record that’s acoustic fight off cliché and produce something that genuinely stands alone. 
Get your hands on a copy of this album. Because I won’t be letting go of my copy. And you won’t want to lose your copy either, if you have any sense.'  - 'Is This Music?' Magazine
 
Lawry's baritone voice is unique and the perfect companion to the weirdly tuned quasi-spanish guitar. I'd be remiss to not mention the lyrics - they invoke laughter and loneliness in equal measures. This album gets under my skin in a way few have been able to. - Dirk Funk
