2002, Pickled Egg
'What we get to hear on Oddfellows Casino's debut album is delicate pop beauty, hidden under a patchwork blanket of unusual sonic twists and turns, informed by elements of jazz, folk, haunting electronica, psychedelia and avante-garde accents. The rich sonic palette includes guitars, Hammond organ, horns, piano, electronics, cello and accordion, beautifully linked by David Bramwell's crystal clear, god-sent voice and the fragile, floating melodies and imaginative arrangements. If there's one record that stands the test of time and repeated listening, it has to be this. Nothing I can put in words accurately describes what's going on here, but it goes without saying that I absolutely love this stuff. This is one of the most accessible but also downright magical recordings I've heard from this fine label' [Mats Gustafsson, The Broken Face]
