Two more articles on Cress have sprung up in delightful crannies of the blogosphere.

My New Favourite Band says that our music

... tip toes through the daisies one minute, and is slashing at the pretty little flowers with a big spade the next. It's all everso slightly left of centre. And we do like ever so slightly left of centre.

Cogwheel Dogs have a faint shimmer of Dry period PJ Harvey about them, never a bad thing, and there's a very similar, very strong songwriting sensibility at work here. If we were betting folk (what? Oh), we'd say these two are going places. Ask Alan Mcgee who's booked them to for his Death Disco night at Notting Hill Arts Club on July 16. If you live in London, check them out for us will you and report back? Thanks.

Meanwhile, Scribblings with Green Chalk is enchanted by our attic-based recording habits, and urges us to write an attic-themed song:

I most definitely lack talent to give you a verbal taste of what to expect when you click over here. I’m impressed by Rebecca’s blog, the band’s website – I’m a sucker for visual wit, I’m afraid. As for the sounds: I like where these songs are going. They are going places and can take you there, which is what songs, essentially, should do. That’s a great beginning and I’d love to see where the songs go from here. I hope there’s a song about the attic somewhere along the way ...

The fine folk at Junkmedia have reviewed Cress. And they seem to like it, scattering their prose with delightful nuggets such as "primitivism of the most beautiful sort" and "everything a good post-punk single should be".

… [Anticoagulant] really shows off this band's strengths. Feverishly strummed acoustic guitars, brushed tom banging, and beautifully distorted cello sweep across abrupt key changes and dynamic shifts, and the effect is pretty dazzling - try listening to it just once. If the rest of their material is anywhere near as good as what's presented on this single (which, as their MySpace page surely attests, certainly is), Cogwheel Dogs are set to become one of the most exciting bands to come out of the underground in years.

Cress received an extremely positive review in online music magazine Noize Makes Enemies. Reviewer Paul Richards writes about the combination of defined, captivating vocals and experimental cello.

"It's not often you get to discover a piece of music that really takes the words right out of your mouth... This is something truly impressive, something you won't look back from and something as unique as it is beautiful!"

The latest edition of Nightshift – Oxford's main music paper – includes a review of Cress.

"Tom's cello strapes and wheezes obnoxiously around Rebecca's more tenderly-strummed melody ... giving [Cress] an urgent bite that most acoustic pop lacks."

"Like the plant it takes its name from, 'Cress' is an odd little thing at first glance ... but with a little patience the end result is unexpectedly rewarding."
