Antwerpen, Belgium 106.7 FM "Psyche van het folk" SHOW
+ "The lyrics which grasped me immediately were from the last track, “Impressed?” with the line like “did you pretend you were only a friend ? I wish I had”. The dramatic ambient vocal choir which is arranged to it is equally impressive and effective. A very strong debut. Highly recommended."
+ "...while it still can be described within the range of new Americana, but then it still sounds different to any other album I have heard before that I would describe as being associated with this style."

+"The songs that make up the band's new EP are equal parts Sampson (and his love of wistful, Tweedy- esque country musings) and Stevens (and his obsession with ambient, otherworldly sounds), making for a lush, meditative outing." 11/07/08

HERE's WHAT THEY ARE SAYING about...EP O...

"...the record hardly sounds electronic at all. With the exception of one instrumental, composed and created entirely by Stevens, each track is built on Sampson's poignant songwriting, delicate vocal phrasing and diaphanous melodies that borrow from country, folk and indie rock."

 "...he jumped through innumerable electronic hoops and logged countless hours trying to match his entirely synthetic sonic landscapes to Sampson's unassuming and organic sound. The resulting illusion of an entire alt-folk ensemble is seamless and captivating."

"Stevens's electronic wizardry has essentially created Sampson's ideal backing band. The real power of the project, however, comes from the fact that each of the musicians has such a different background."
