"The moment the team heard his music in our listening sessions, we knew this was a songwriter we wanted to get behind. Neal’s music can be likened to Nick Cave and Leonard Cohen - dark, gritty and sombre. His music is real and evokes a deep emotional response to the listener both through the sonics of his music but also through the sophisticated story telling in his lyrics. We couldn’t be more thrilled to represent and be an advocate for such a talented songwriter"

“There's a film a few years ago, which I absolutely adored called 'Hell or High Water'. The soundtrack to that was written by Nick Cave and there are elements of that soundtrack in this. When it starts you can easily picture yourself on a desert highway with tumbleweeds and sandblasting. He has hit the mark with what it was going for.”

"If you like Tom Waits, Nick Cave, Howe Gelb, Calexico, Iron & Wine, Dr John, Johnny Cash et al, then you will love this album. Neal Sawyer's debut offering stands shoulder to shoulder with anything these established artists have produced. He has a passion for music that is difficult to measure and the care and love he's poured into every single song, is evident from the very first note of the first track."
