Reviews of these Mercury Prize Award nominees recent album, 'Crown And Treaty':

MOJO - 5/5 `Instant Classic´: A richer feast... could scarcely be imagined


Q - 4/5 "They´ve re-emerged stronger, more focussed and full of head spinning ideas"


Independent On Sunday - 4/5: "A far more complex musical palette... with Tim Elsenburg´s falsetto navigating its way through nine songs which like PJ Harvey´s `Let England Shake´ are overtly haunted by the ghosts of British history"


Daily Telegraph - 4/5: "A kind of progressive chamber pop... Cerebral, demanding and frequently dazzling"


Daily Mail - 4/5: "Blissful"


Daily Star - 8/10: "Marching bands and massed chants one minute, devastating acoustic ballads the next, it´s the crown jewels"


Time Out - `Critics Choice´: "More precise than a laser but a great deal friendlier, these former Mercury-nominees mix math-rock deft with a fluid and folky flow"


NME - "´Crown And Treaty´ is all about straddling eras... This is cleverly crafted, dramatic stuff"
