    This is effectively juxtaposed with ominous understatement, and the shifting moods, combined with varied instrumentation including harmonium, banjo and electric piano, make for an intriguing, satisfying listen.

    Pretty, poignant and educational, too. [Aug 2013, p.71]

    Overall, Bugbears is an album that reveals something new on repeat listens.

    Beyond Bugbears' supplementary nature, it's a coherent collection of songs, a window to a period closer in time and temperament to our own than we imagine.
