Reviews

“… who knows what really lurks behind Lupen Crook’s pretty demeanour?  Whatever it is, though, it sounds utterly compelling.” – NME »

“… indisputable genius.  It’s not Dylan going electric, you understand; it’s much more significant than that.  Sublime stuff.“ – The Fly »

“Medway-based songwriter Lupen Crook is a bewitching talent… a uniquely twisted mind, providing you’ve got the stomach for it.“ – Uncut »

“… like a more jaundiced Ray Davies as the song travels from voice and guitar through muscular band punctuation… this is original and highly concentrated stuff.“ – Mojo »

“… a songwriter who has an air of insanity and a genuine edge-of-the-seat brilliance that is both puzzling and highly addictive.“ – The Sun »

“… the sound of a soul stripped naked, then strapped to a guitar, set on fire and sent shrieking down the street… Splendidly uncompromising stuff.” – Clash Magazine »
