    Tricolore feels like an imaginary soundtrack. [Jan 2014, p.103]

    If Sigur Ros shared a cottage in Dovedale, they might just sound as magical as this. [May 2013, p.71]

    This is a splendid and rather accomplished debut album: one senses we haven’t heard the last from Louise, Sophie and Gemma.

    If their debut album doesn't quite match the boldness of their claims, it's a delicious little thing.

    The world of Tricolore is a delightful one, and like any good album of its kind, it captures a diverse, multi-colored musical journey.

    While a word like “twee” occasionally threatens to overpower Tricolore’s little world, the solidly built layers of a song like “Train Tracks for Wheezy” shift focus to craftsmanship.

    Tricolore is enjoyable, but it’s a sum of two different parts; together it comes off as strangely disjointed, like shifting from speaking German to speaking Japanese.
