“Richly-orchestrated dramatic pop.”
Adresseavisen
“Melancholic and complex music, filled with unexpected chord progressions, rich layers of Mellotron and emotionally-loaded vocals.”
Norway Rock Magazine
“It may challenge your idea of what progressive music should sound like in 2008.”
Tarkus Magazine
“A beautiful auburn empire.”
DotShop.se
“A dreamy slice of progressive pop that doesn’t sound quite like anything else we’ve heard in a long time.”
Popsicle
“Inspiring and gorgeous, albeit heartbreaking, classical-countered sophisticated pop. This is a demurring 10 track collection that veers between heartbreak and euphoria, whilst touching base with all the boundaries between. A dizzying spectacle of spell-woven beauty…”
Losing Today
“Nick Drake is the obvious touchstone here, but Marsh doesn’t sound like a clone. Instead, like kindred spirit Eric Matthews, Marsh is an unabashed fan of the same shimmering folk/pop sound and wants to adapt to the 21st century. Based on this beautiful record, he’s succeeded handily.”
The Big Takeover
“‘The Fragile Of Inbetween’ is sophisticated pop-prog at its best. It is a charming and great album, which in its field, stands like a monolith and supersedes most of what we have heard in the past years.”
Merlin Prog
Available from Burning Shed / iTunes.
