    Finally: bedroom music from a guy who seems to know his way around the bedroom. [Nov 2005, p.141]

    By the end [Vek] makes a convincing bid for Rookie of the Year. [Oct 2005, p.81]

    These tracks would sound less like anemic demos if Vek had allowed himself to take advantage of a full studio and a real band. [3 Nov 2005, p.92]

    I love this album. Lots of simple bass guitar, beats that flirt with techno and brilliant lyrics. Each song has layer upon layer of sound and is really pleasing to listen to. The almost demo quality is definitely a positive in this case. A brilliantly rounded album that beats the majority of established bands hands down.… Expand

    Lo–Fi guitars, sweet synths, eccentric beats and surreal lyrics make this an off the wall joy
