Some of the nice things folks out there said about this record...
"Ambrose Tompkins sound like no one else in today's musical
climate...this is a magical release that's well worth getting your
hands on while you can." - Rhythm & Booze
"...oozes the same class as the track we chose for our Counter
Culture 04 compilation" - Rough Trade
"Ambrose Tompkins are the next big folk band...the Leicester
four piece produce luscious soundscapes akin to Beck, the Beta Band,
and The Earlies, but with less electronic shenanigans and more mangoes
- yes, they play a mango!" - Gigwise.com
"
The nu-sound of hymnal bluegrass is captured on 'Every Now And Then'
while 'Wonky Twaxles' brings beat-beat shimmer to their traditional
instrumentation, mandolin and autoharp amongst. 'This' chimes like
pub-pop but with the distinct class of Welsh mountain folk. Zimbabwean-like
sunshine guitar pickin' puts a spring in the step of 'All Is As'.
A tremendous new British talent."
- Vanity Project
"Nice folky stuff that recalls Fence Records, The Beta Band
and Beck." - Norman Records
"Hypnotique
et originale" - A Decouvrir Absolument (full
review >>)
"Aahh, the indisputable loveliness of Ambrose Tompkins...the
production gives the whole EP a state of yesteryear while still
full of new ideas. Perfect spring listening." - Tasty Fanzine
"Ambrose Tompkins are on the way up. 'Every Now And Then' weighs
in under 3 minutes as the perfect pop single." - Plastic Ashtray
