.. .."Quinn remains our best bet for a next-generation British cult figure likely to continue surprising us in 10, even 20, years... these are artists at work, and your applause is as the gurgling of a far-distant toilet." ..5/5, Pop CD of the Week by Stewart Lee in ..The Sunday Times........"Odd as a bag of badgers, but very good."..Four Stars - ..The Independent...... .."...like a less mantric Can, overlaid with suggestions of Miles Davis and ambient-period Brian Eno... The result is unaffectedly bucolic, alternately hazy and acute" ..3/4 - ..Mojo on 'Isle of Grain'.........."It's the Can-like trance-funk, woozy folk, Henry Cow-style chamber rock, Eno-era Roxy Music and the prog-jazz of trumpeter Dr Andrew Blick that makes this great" ..4/5 - ..Uncut on 'IoG'...... .."One More Grain are a strange bunch".. - ..The Guardian........"Post-punk with brass? Don't be scared - this London-based quartet mix sleek sounds with John Cooper Clark-esque wisdom" ..- ..NME........"A pheasant drive with laser guns... A compelling album.".. - ..The Wire........"This is psychogeography with trumpets and sumptuous locked down grooves... a ramble through the dales with accompaniment courtesy of New Orleans and Detroit.".. - ..PlayLouder........"Great English talent...4/5".. - ..The Sunday Times on 'Pigeon English'........"Weird yet wonderful".. - ..Drowned in Sound........"Go. Seek. Buy. This record feels like the start of something special".. - ..Make Noise and Dance........"Pigeon English is the work of a unique mind... Pere Ubu and Can for a new generation".. - 4/5 - ..The Stool Pigeon........"One More Grain perfectly pinpoint the wonder and disillusion inherent in these damp isles.".. - ..Plan B........"A band who provide Technicolor contrast to the Capital's current crop of dayglo dreamers".. - ..Channel 4's 4Talent........"So special....fantastic and utterly unmissable".. - ..Whisperin & Hollerin........"Punk funk jazz with story telling, it sounds weird but it's excellent, honest".. - ..John Kennedy, Xfm.. ......"This is One More Grain, it's called Having A Ball. It tickles us in the right place... One of the most catchy songs of the year we think. It's great." ..-.. Zane Lowe, Radio 1.. ......"A woozy, modal stream-of-consciousness narrative of escape that displays them at their inimitable best." ..-.. BBC Collective on ..A Town Is What You Make It....
