    Punch and snarl and sweetness and weakness adorn shining intelligence and sentimentality compromised by the bitterness of experience. The melodies are lilting then crashing then stabbing then bare and vulnerable. It's a great album, with great hooks and is as welcome as hot coffee on a cold hangover morning.

    Anglo-Saxon sextet Sweet Sweet Lies dress nasty themes in sweet acoustic melodies and sharp suits. [Mar 2012, p.98]

    The Hare, The Hound & The Tortoise is a promising debut album, one which spells a bright future for a quite unique band.
  3. This is a band for fans of Leonard Cohen, Scott Walker and Nick Cave who wondered where their next great love was coming from...it's already here.
