Press Reviews From an IRB review of "A Blind Cat": "Can anyone say Robyn Hitchcock? [The] fractured chords and enigmatic lyrics recall the ex-Soft Boys solo work. The tension in the track is built up nicely... This track works poetically... [The] images are interesting... [The] recording is good and the guitar in particular is well recorded as well as an excellent part. [The] nursery rhyme figure is great. [The] vocal has a striking character as well as good intonation and rhythmic accuracy. Although the playing is for the most part understated, it is very appropriate for the mood... the guitar shines in the choice of chords and execution and sound. [The] downchild persona is fairly well elucidated... overall artistic intent is listen-worthy..."
