Aug 19, 2015Le Bon and Presley are certainly a potent cocktail and this is one of the most uncommonly satisfying releases of the year so far, whose charms reveal themselves best after a few plays.
-
Aug 19, 2015Hermits On Holiday is that rarest of treats, a side-project that could be its writers’ day job. Bristling with brio and invention, it sounds as much fun to listen to as its creators evidently had making it.
-
Aug 21, 2015Despite the difference between le Bon’s and Presley’s median outputs, they produce a fresh and rich stylistic centre on Hermits on Holiday.

Aug 21, 2015Neither Presley nor Le Bon should give up their main gigs for DRINKS, but if they got together now and then to record an album with as much good-natured charm and tricky bits as this, that'd be just fine.

Aug 18, 2015There seems to be a frequent clash of interests, whether that is between Le Bon's distinct guitar simplicity and Presley's distortion of the same instrument, or between the Welsh singer's kindergarten aesthetic and the American's stoner haze.
