also available on cd:
"…as scottish releases and scottish bands go smackvan and sound in space seem to really be quite criminally underrated…"
"…has all the best of independent Scottish music…heartbreak, restraint, understatement, intelligence… an excellent introduction to a haunted and beautiful sonic world…"
"…there is an essentially romantic element at work here, primarily due to the lyrical depth set upon a confident bed of swells, soft hooks, repetition, semi-riffs, unsettling rhythms and noises…"
