Feb 25, 2013Highly personal, heavily detailed, and brimming with wounded optimism.
-
Feb 26, 2013Hamilton writes very nice folk rock songs, the way a 1,000 song writers do, but he, unlike most of his completion, he also wires them with dynamite and blows them sky high.
-
Mar 1, 2013Just because it is not music that shouts about itself, that dazzles with pyrotechnics or showboating guitar solos, its profundity and emotional heft is nevertheless, and perhaps even all the more, striking.
-
UncutFeb 22, 2013It might skirt the edges of twee but the follow-up to 2010's Die Stadt Muzikanten darkens and deepens as it unfolds. [Mar 2013, p.79]
-
Q MagazineMar 12, 2013It's the orchestral pop of Red Rover, Red Rover and the others that sweep the album along. [Apr 2013, p.113]
-
MojoMar 7, 2013Folky, fragile songs and others built on washes of guitar effects. [Apr 2013, p.98]
-
Feb 25, 2013Dragging 10 quite ordinary Woodpigeon songs over 45 minutes makes Thumbtacks + Glue a sadly laborious and pedestrian listen, bereft of the wonder in the best of Hamilton’s previous work.
