"Halflight is the work of a band that has stopped apologising for itself. It is one of the quietest, most devastating records Scotland has produced this decade."
"Ferguson's voice has the quality of an upstairs window on a winter evening. You don't so much listen as lean toward it. Extraordinary."
"Glasgow has quietly produced the best indie-rock band of the decade. If you care about songwriting the way you care about breathing, you need this record."
