UncutMar 29, 2011While not quite a handbrake turn, No witch shows a band moving out of the woods into wider spaces. [Apr 2011, p.77]

Mar 22, 2011Unfortunately with No Witch, there just isn't enough excitement to hold the listener's attention for long. And while the group is to be commended for their artistic efforts, it could benefit from a more aggressive fusion of sounds on its next album.

Dusted MagazineFeb 25, 2011As these descriptions should suggest, none of the songs on No Witch grabs you on its own as a standout piece of songwriting.

Feb 25, 2011Like their revivalist peers, Cave Singers aren't reinventing a genre here, but they lend their local folkie scene a welcome dark side, and No Witch is their strongest album yet.
-
Feb 25, 2011It might still be restrained, and it still sounds fragilely beautiful, but even when it just misses this album will stir you up in all the right ways.

Feb 23, 2011As its title implies, No Witch is missing something: Where magic and a little evil ought to dwell, there's workmanship dressed up in wizard's robes.

Feb 23, 2011The change might not be as shocking as, say, when Bob Dylan went electric, but it's still something of a shock to hear the pastoral sound of the Cave Singers' past chopped down by plugged-in axes.
