QUINQUIS – Song For Ewe
"When I first heard this track I felt like it was talking directly to my body. I couldn't feel the moment when it came from the outside to get into my ears. It sounded like the air. It looked like the waves. It felt like the wind on my cheek."

UNIVERSITY CHALLENGED “CHOPPERS OVER NEGRIL” – V.S. JOINT SONG OF THE YEAR 2021 & NEW LUCKY 7
"The most prolific gang in town. Impeccable output. Killer production. This album bowled me over when I listened to it. Each track is a thrill and sails unchartered waters."
JOHNNY JOHNSON from THE SIDDELEYS – Song For Ewe
“Shirley Collins has said that when she sings, she can feel past generations standing behind her. It’s impossible to know how many ghosts would surround her singing “Hares on the Mountain” – it’s a song that may be two hundred years old, perhaps more, passed from mouth to ear and sung by many unknown singers before her.”

TEKE::TEKE – Lucky 7
“Sonically, there’s a lot going on here ; Melodic and traditional licks go hand-in-hand with the more experimental and noise side of T::T.

THURSTON MOORE – Song For Ewe
“It is an incredible piece of music with Tapscott’s piano and Arthur Blythe’s saxophone raising the roof. Tapscott wouldn’t record again until 1978 when he began to release a score of LPs on independent labels. A song about rising consciousness in a state of political disenfranchisement – as necessary today 2020 as it was in 1969, if not more so”

ANNA B SAVAGE – Song For Ewe
“I’m cat sitting at the moment, and I can’t work out the Sonos here so the only thing I seem to be able to play is my July Spotify playlist.

JON LANGFORD – Lucky 7
“Punk was very much about white kids reaction to seeing young West Indian kids fight the cops at the Notting Hill carnival and learning to dig their music and rebel stance. The protest against institutional racism and police brutality all over the US this week are encouraging to me because the participants are so young and so racially mixed.
