    Press Reviews
    "Home-made lofi elegance from New Zealand." - www.lowfidelity.comCopperfield Honey - "Straight-forward acoustic strummings and occasional harmonica bursts lend this a quiet understated dignity... Never trying to be clever, this antipodean lo-country outfit get the balance just right, imbuing every chord with downhome melancholy and honesty. Sorted. [8/10]" - Gnash - www.lowfidelity.com
