Reviews

"Album closer ‘I Was At School’ is heartbreakingly sincere; shorn of vocals, My Two Toms’s music has a wonderful clarity of feeling." — Drowned in Sound 8/10 Recommended

"Their instrumentals are still full of tender plucks, lullabies and roving melodies warmly captured, intentionally unadorned ... A subtle, but cinematic score for all the days of the week." — Venue Magazine ★★★★☆

"The Toms always sound like they were born to play together, each bouncing off the others playing so that each piece is filled with wonderful little touches and melodic surprises." — Norman Records ★★★★★ Recommended
