A stunning, stately debut - The Skinny
Poignant electro-futurist folk [where] one of the elements which resonates most clearly throughout...is MacGregor’s continuing abilitywith a shining pop chorus. - The Scotsman
Pairing catchy choruses and post-pop grooves, with melancholic, self-deprecating lyrics, MacGregor offers up a tasty slice of Scottish indie avant-pop, shot through with streams of folk and electronica - The List
As with allthesongs here, MacGregor cutsto theheart with thetiniest lyrical details. Like slowstrobe flashes throwing light on the past, we see snatches of stories symbolised in ordinary objects and overheard conversations, leaving usto fill in the missing pieces- Gold Flake Paint
From insistent lead single 'Wholesale' through a heavenlycollaboration with Gaelicstar Kim Carnie to closing secular hymnal 'Free Psalm', the record glides and soars - a bird's eye view of frosted landscapes and snowyhills- The National

What a beautiful collection of flowery weird pop. This album speaks to me in so many ways and I feel I could just play it on repeat all day. Bright and optimistic yet deep and weird in all the right ways. I heart it so hard. Nenad J.
