FilterNot since Cornelius' Fantasma has the element of surprise manifested itself as fully as on this record. [#9, p.110]
-
UncutDespite its DIY origins and almost hallucinatory feel, this is a peach of a pop record. [Apr 2004, p.108]
-
Lone Pigeon shows remarkable variation in both composition and songwriting on Schoozzzmmii.
-
Q MagazineIf you were charmed by early Gorky's Zygotic Mynci, or simply fancy a bonkers tune-fest, this inspired, lo-fi rock is for you. [Apr 2004, p.114]
-
It's this prolific, homegrown vibe paired with a knack for downright catchy pop that makes Lone Pigeon Scotland's answer to Ween.
-
The hazy, semi-hallucinogenic beauty is boosted by the lo-fi, not-quite-focused home recording.
-
An invigorating breath of fresh music.
-
Alternative PressDark and compelling. [May 2004, p.104]
-
SpinThis stuff may be lo-fi, but in Anderson's case, the hissy fits. [Jul 2004, p.112]
-
A charming, if often bewildering, set of psychedelic junk-folk ditties.
-
A window into the sublime mind of one of Britains great outsiders.
-
The saddest part of all this useless audio-masturbation is that it completely masks the genuinely beautiful pop songs of which Anderson is so capable.
-
One major problem is the Lone Pigeons tone of voice: earnest, slightly keening, with no core or crag, no edge or clamor. Combined with melodic and lyrical art that often borders on the perfunctory, Anderson is left flailing.
-
MojoA scrapbook of tuneful, scattershot fragments. [Mar 2004, p.97]
