" The album of the year. . . . Mother's Daughter and Other Songs is so fractured and tries to marry folk song writing, traditional acoustic instrumentation and digital glitch production techniques in a way that is so vulnerable that perfection is achieved". Tim Ritchie, ABC Radio National, Sound Quality

. . . future music for the soul. If you didn't get the Tunng abum then you are either a/ deaf or b/ insane. Listen up. Norman Records, 29th April 2005

. . . a stunning collection of infectious and beautiful songs. Mixing acoustic instruments and electronic sounds, the album drifts along like a hazy summers day, each song gently fading into the next, as the songs weave their magic around the listener.
. . . the blend is perfect, each song a complete and satisfying experience.
Simon Lewis, Ptolemaic Terrascope, May 2005

. . . one of the year’s finest releases so far. Otherworldly and enchanting, the hastily applied ‘folktronica’ tag doesn’t do justice to the dark beauty of Mother’s Daughter, which bridges the gap between traditional folk and ambient soundscapes.
. . . Revealing new treasures with each listen, this is a densely layered record and a potent amalgam of styles, old and new.
. . . There really is no excuse for not owning this.
Simon Harper (5 stars) Birmingham Post, 11th April 2005

Eerily beautiful electronica melded with acoustic guitars, soulful vocals and raw percussive beats, this stunning album fires the imagination, evoking memories of sunny days lying in sand dunes.
MW, The Stranger, March 2005

This is...wonderful!
Steve Hanson, Comes With A Smile, Winter 2005

Strange imagery of genetic codes and radio signals binds with the traditional sounds to create futuristic folk music.
Joe Muggs (4 stars), The Daily Telegraph, 29th January 2005

The perfectly pitched vocals and electronic sheen of this LP make it truly stand out from the hordes of undistinguished folk-tronica around. A cracker.
Ben Murphy (4 stars), DJ magazine, 21st January 2005
