There were a few moments when I closed my eyes and I could have been at the feet of the great Lou Reed. Their sound was impressive. They come from a background of classical training and that shines through in the sophistication of their composition - FasterLouder
"t's The Way - an extremely vibey little track, sexy, cool and fresh sounding. This is definitely a potential hit - Radio OCI Spain
Sydney based 4-some who craft classically rooted guitar pop. Check out 'Girls from Holland' which for the best part we’d have swore had Bowie doing guest vocals with Split Enz - LosingToday, UK
Dean Ranel has single handedly molded together an album melded with magnificence and contemporary pizzaz - Cairns Barfly
