Praise for Field Of Reeds:

poignant The Guardian (4/5);

stunning Sunday Times; particularly affecting The Times (4*);

deeply moving Pitchfork (8.4);

arguably the musical achievement of the 2010s so far Record Collector (5*);

oddly beautiful and strangely alluring Loud And Quiet (8/10);

hold a spot on your album of the decades list The Fly (9/10);

Beautifully muted, yet murkily enticing Q (4*);

Its that rare thing; an album that will reward you by drip-feeding you its secrets Independent On Sunday (9/10);

Astounding Uncut (4*);

their triumph is spectacular Drowned in Sound (9/10)
