The Scarlet Tuesday / Balor Knights split 7" single on banana yellow vinyl
"If this doesn’t prove to be the best shared single this year I’ll eat my cutlery. The efforts are very similar, sharing girl/boy interchanging vocals, catchy powerpop melodies and more fizz than a Moet that’s been shaken for half an hour, but it’s the jangling keys and recorder toots of The Scarlet Tuesday number that edges any forced contest. Bafflingly good." SOUNDSXP
"A blistering, careering spin in the Balor Knights grazed-finger jangle leaves one breathless, despite the breaks for a little brass. The Scarlet for a little brass. The Scarlet Tuesday are a more sophisticated alternative, a kind of dinner jacket indie, the male/female vocal paths interweaving majestivally with the cheeky sprite-ish recorder motif." VANITY PROJECT
"A freewheeling cacophony of post-Delgados pop, colliding harmonies, twinkly keyboards & recorder. Audacious to say the least. Like a big bubblegum bubble chewed up with chunks of Novak, Delgados, & god knows what else. The Balor Knights share members & a mad revved up spirit that makes them both a meatier Bearsuit & Ooberman. It's got in an indie hotrod & driven through the studio wall. It's so bloody tanked up on fizzy pop & energy tablets. On vibalite yellow vinyl. Just perfect!" NORMAN RECORDS

Monkey Swallows The Universe - "The Bright Carvings" CD album
The hotly awaited debut album from Monkey Swallows The Universe is out on February 20th. But before that, you can download for free our 'virtual vinyl' single consisting of two track from the album "Jimmy Down The Well" and "Sheffield Shanty". Pre-order your copy of the album from now.
"The best album to be released in the first two months of 2006 comes from a band with a slightly dodgy name involving the word ‘Monkey’, who come from Sheffield and often refer to the city in the lyrics of their songs. They’ve had their tracks downloaded from the internet thousands of times ahead of the release of their debut LP and have had songs engineered by hot South Yorkshire producer Alan Smyth. The second best album is by the Arctic Monkeys. The album in question comes from acoustic five-piece Monkey Swallows The Universe" Sandman Magazine.
"I've found myself coming back to these songs again and again" Steve Lamacq
"'Sheffield Shanty' is a fantastic sounding slice of acoustic guitar weaved into a most beautiful composition by the silky vocals." Tasty Zine
" Monkey Swallows The Universe are more than worthy of anyones - and everyone's - attention." Drowned In Sound
"These simians certainly know how to sooth even the must furrowed of brows. Lovely." SOUNDS XP
"This album is, in one word, lovely. From the opening track of ‘Sheffield Shanty’, a beautiful piece of whimsy about a flooded Sheffield landscape, it’s like a huge, warm quilt on a cold winter night." Sandman magazine
