    The slow pacing of the tracks, particularly the likes of 'Feet of Clay', 'Mister Skeleton' and 'Secrets of the Earth', are almost meditative. Richly detailed, so you're constantly finding new sounds and curiosities, but not so busy as to draw too much attention away from the trip.

    Grumbling Fur largely inhabit their own wonderful world, dreaming up very old-school British psychedelia that hints at the rituals behind the privet and sigils on the parquet floors. [Sep 2014, p.109]

    Their imagery may be impenetrable--all "teardrops on the wires" and particles "falling into space"--but the tunes haunt the mind long after they've faded.

    A dense, intelligent and rewarding album.

    Whilst the exposure of O’Sullivan and Tucker’s pop heart has been more than welcome, one senses that there are many more sides to this complex, stubbornly esoteric collaboration that are yet to be revealed, and that’s an exciting thought indeed.

    There remains a mood off unease here, as if these transportive pop chants were also magic spells designed to awaken something ancient and terrible. [Sep 2014, p.90]

    Preternaturals is graceful and intriguing, if not vastly pulse quickening.

    Manchester electronic alternative with folk melodies, reminding 80's dream pop, Depeche Mode, Stone Roses or Cave. Not somethingManchester electronic alternative with folk melodies, reminding 80's dream pop, Depeche Mode, Stone Roses or Cave. Not something revolutionary, but quite original and well done.
