It's this prolific, homegrown vibe paired with a knack for downright catchy pop that makes Lone Pigeon Scotland's answer to Ween.
-
Alternative PressDark and compelling. [May 2004, p.104]
-
One major problem is the Lone Pigeon’s 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.

FilterNot since Cornelius' Fantasma has the element of surprise manifested itself as fully as on this record. [#9, p.110]
-
A window into the sublime mind of one of Britain’s great outsiders.
-
MojoA scrapbook of tuneful, scattershot fragments. [Mar 2004, p.97]
-
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]
-
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.
-
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.
-
The hazy, semi-hallucinogenic beauty is boosted by the lo-fi, not-quite-focused home recording.
-
An invigorating breath of fresh music.
-
UncutDespite its DIY origins and almost hallucinatory feel, this is a peach of a pop record. [Apr 2004, p.108]

ARMar 28, 2005A beautiful album - but not quite as complete as his first, 'Concubine Rice'.
