"Running circles 8/10
""It'll sound pretty quiet on your soundtracks to driving really fast" say the London sugarpop band. Oh, who cares when the've got a song that's as if Belle & Seb carelessly left off Feeling Sinister?
"It's similarly uplifting and witty, with an instantly classic chorus. Then the second song sounds like Sigur Ros coverng the Take Hart theme. Stunning."

Lost Music
" With a nod to Belle and Sebastian and a pocketful of 60s soul, Pocketbooks make beautiful indiepop."
Lost Music - September 2006
Another Form Of Relief
"'Cross the line' has easily cemented itself in place as one of my favourites of the year so far. Full of lovely imagary... it takes on a nicely self-aware twist when she starts calling him on the honesty of his lyrics."

Tasty fanzine
"Pocketbooks are jangly indie, undeniably fey and all glockenspiels, hand claps and boy/girl harmonies - general brilliant ye olde indiepop you don't hear enough of nowadays."

Indie MP3
"...10 excellent tracks .... If you like your indiepop as a lo-fi variety then you are not going to be disappointed by this.
"Certainly one of the brighest things shining through in the musically dull phoney war that is 2006 so far."
Indie MP3 - 11 March 2006
Disposable Media

Another Form of Relief
"... precious sounding songs about the simple things, sung in an incredibly earnest way. There's also a great little knack for pop culture references here too..."

"...giddy timeless bedroom dramas... a hunger and cloistered dreams are all theirs. Glorious majesty, given time. 7/10"
Planet Sound - September 2006
Nothing But Green Lights
"... whispered and then harmonised indie pop... The Go Team with the colour taken out, and Belle and Sebastian members awkwardly inserted. The result = vivid + distinctive *indie pop*"

Feedback
(The magazine of MENSA's special interest group for lovers of rock and prog music!! - I genuinely have no idea how they came to be reviewing us...)
"Insightful lo-fi tunes chronicling everyday life's ups and downs... ...an intriguing collection of songs...."
