'A Garden...' is an honest, breezy listen swimming in the sparkling lakes of melody and lounging in the harmonic sun. while the sound is head-noddingly simple and lush there's enough creativity and infectious arrangements through-out the record to creep into one's subconscious. gregory's voice is a treat too: an effortless croon that seeps into your memory"
Rough Trade 2011
"Fraser is set to release a polished album that is filled with emotion and creativity that anyone with blood flowing in their veins will understand. Get ready, this band carries the goods to conquer the world" Emma Droege www.theregoesthefear.co.uk
I’ve been listening to the latest Noah And The Whale album a lot these days, and I’ve found that Fraser has captured a similar feel (maybe not so depressing though) The album presents a perfect range of feels which enables you to enjoy it from start to finish in a total daydream-like way. I suspect Fraser may well be the next ‘indie-pop’ sensation. www.cinematicmusic.com
"Fraser are a band that possess a warmth, heart and soul that's hard to fault, injecting each and every song here with enough thought and feeling to ultimately charm and win even the most cynical of hearts. If you're looking for laid back indie rock that both tugs on the heart strings and delivers a steady supply of gentle pop hooks, A GARDEN AT THE TOP OF THE TREE is a record that will satisfy and charm" www.ukmusicreview.co.uk
"Uplifting and Happy music, I will definitely be listening to this again" Laura Johnstone www.contactmusic.co.uk
"A Garden is a lovely, gentle, laid back record, with a good variation between tracks which will duly appeal to a broad audience" Adam Simpson www.stereoboard.co.uk
If you like a mix of folk, pop, indie and elements of electro then this is undoubtedly an album worth checking out - although the best taster track to listen to first is 'Lay it on the Line', which they released as a single. It's such a beautifully crafted enriching song and is the ideal choice to help give 'A Garden At The Top Of The Tree' a great lift-off towards widespread recognition. This album should appeal to an extensive audience and gets a big thumbs up from us. Christopher Hammer www.allthegigs.co.uk
