    A really lovely,consistent album of beautifully honest songs.While the style is not perhaps original,it`s hard to think of another band who would have or recorded anything similar. Their previous albums had a sort of small band sound (only 3 members) and gave you the impression they would sound that way at the drop of a hat in any pub or on any stage without a sound-check..Sky At NightA really lovely,consistent album of beautifully honest songs.While the style is not perhaps original,it`s hard to think of another band who would have or recorded anything similar. Their previous albums had a sort of small band sound (only 3 members) and gave you the impression they would sound that way at the drop of a hat in any pub or on any stage without a sound-check..Sky At Night however,has been given a lush production with strings appearing on most tracks and just a lovely sense of space for the instruments to support John Bramwells ever better-with-age characterful tones. Self-depreciating,optimistic,witty and nostalgic.A highly recommended new best-friend of an album that won`t wear thin upon repeat listens.… Collapse

    The album has an eerie, almost childlike innocence: 10 songs of stunning candour and understated beauty.

    Any band that can record something as impressive as the gently swelling Radiation deserves to be taken on their own merits. Even Elbow may have to doff their hats this time. [Sep 2010, p.106]

    Sky at Night simply distils and expands all Kloot's lovely strengths, from his taut, elegant tunes to resolutely bittersweet lyrics.
