Reviews
3 out of 5 - "...Decidedly mellow and acoustic nature, EXCUSES continues Neil Halstead's love affair with country, folk and pop....masterfully written, recorded and played...", "...The intimate, textured arrangements are well-suited to Halstead's aching lyrics and melancholy vocals, giving tunes...an air of empathy and healing." - Rating: A-, 3.5 stars out of 5 - "...British sad-core specialists....spectacularly sullen....a diary of finely wrought situations...", "...There's a windblown country-rock vibe to the sound...that suits vocalist/guitarist Neil Halstead's dry, folky voice...", 7 out of 10 - "...Brilliantly rendered virtual-country laments. And if you get drunk or stoned enough, they sound just like the real thing."
