"Fine folk from the far beaches of Cornwall..that's the title track from If Wen's masterful and subtly understated album." -
BBC DJ Tom Robinson
"..genius..one of best things heard in last ten years..could be the English Elliot Smith." -
Shaun Belcher, Flyin' Shoes Review
"A quite charming and fulfilling debut release" - David Kidman, NetRhythms
"..a really great album..." - BBC DJ Sean Rowley
"..songs that go far deeper than many song writers are capable of going..." -
Neil King - the acoustic/folk fanzine FATEA
"Simple, pastoral, but breathtaking folktronica." - Radio Caroline TV
"...an impressive album..." - BBC DJ Gary Crowley
"'Wind Blows' is this album's most sweet of sweetest moments though, if anything ideal for one of those iPod-ready summer nights on the beach." -
Adam Silverstein, Subba Cultcha
"Sublime multi-tracked vocals soar over earthy fingerpicked guitar with a melodic pop sensibility whose closest comparison is an extroverted Elliott Smith circa Figure 8." - Alex Cleary, Folking.com
