…cool, engaging release…it’s a distinctively British take on pop craftsmanship...

…unmistakable ‘out-of-its-time’ production… Songwriter Dave Milligan (of Arco fame) leads us through a collection of sticky hooks, quirky arrangements and choruses that insist on taking up residence…(you’ll be singing these songs in the shower)…sun-drenched drives in the country, with the windows down, will be enhanced.

cooler than a real penguin’s party....more quintessentially British than fish and chips, red phone boxes, or six pints of bitter on a wet Saturday night down the pub...quirky and individualistic, it is also engagingly charming...Dave Milligan taps into a rich heritage of British pop to produce a memorably tuneful, instantly absorbing, collection of See Thru Songs...literally reels you in...lurking within the album are cleverly constructed lyrics about all manner of human experiences...blogcritics
Warning. Just like all well written pop you will find yourself singing these songs at highly inappropriate moments...examiner.com
...packed full of typically British pop charm...quirky but stylish...classic observational pop..vocal acrobatics...beautifully and sensitively crafted...poetic lyrics...can be thought provoking and evocative as much as it can be childlike and coy...a strange but nicely rewarding album...toxicpete.com
