Poignant electro-futurist folk [where] one of the elements which resonates most clearly throughout...is MacGregor’s continuing abilitywith a shining pop chorus. - The Scotsman
Pairing catchy choruses and post-pop grooves, with melancholic, self-deprecating lyrics, MacGregor offers up a tasty slice of Scottish indie avant-pop, shot through with streams of folk and electronica - The List

From insistent lead single 'Wholesale' through a heavenlycollaboration with Gaelicstar Kim Carnie to closing secular hymnal 'Free Psalm', the record glides and soars - a bird's eye view of frosted landscapes and snowyhills- The National
