This kind of soft-pop is hard to come by, but when it's as well done as it is here, it's simply the thing that can break the clouds into song and make the sun bristle through. Neither Justin or Tomek are showoffy in that kind of "Look Ma, it's me!" kind of way; Tomek's tasteful lead electric guitar lines are clean and just-so elastic in a kind of a restrained, Mark Knopfler sort-of way, complementing the beautiful melodies sung expressively and rather smoothly by Justin. - Alan Haber
This is pretty glorious, melodic pop. A nice heavy piano and loads of vocal harmonies back up a soaring lead vocal, tickled at by cheeky little bass-lines that pull the songs along - Dashiel Munding
I Need to EP’ is a beautiful mix of musicianship and songwriting. Featuring pianos, organs, guitars, basses, voices, drums, and who knows what else, the album takes a complex mixture of sounds and converts it into a heart-pleasing blend. - Toby Cryns
Gilbert O' Sullivan lives on! Well, that is the new version anyway. - Frenchy Gloder

Bio
'Justin and Tomek' consists of Justin Hind (piano, vocals, songwriter) and Tomek Miernowski (guitars, misc. instruments, arranger). The piano-pop/rock duo started recording together in 2004 (in Wisconsin) and is now located on the east coast. All of the music up to this point has been self-produced and engineered, originating with creative experimentation by two naive high-school friends, eventually blossoming into mature songwriting and musicianship by two professional audio engineers. This is Justin and Tomek.
