Press comments

Hardkandy? Tough on the outside, soft on the inside, and darn tasty. "How Do You Do Nothing?"comes educated from the same school of Cinematic music-makinf that Moby, Massive Attack, Herbaliser and Jadell all studied at- gentle washes of blues with the tiniest tinge of mistrust coming from a pivot of warbling keys, trip hoppy, horizon dipping breaks, searing strings, pensive acoustics and a radiation of warmth. Summertime may have officially ended, but slap this on the system and the atmosphere will get back to balmy in no time.

5 stars. Seven Update Magazine. October 9th 2002.
