"A nice banjo-infused folk song from Statues Made of Matchsticks, a band out of Finland. I can't say I'm a huge fan of a female voice in a folk song (except Joan Baez of course), but it is pulled off very nicely here. This song, like the previous post, comes from MAP, which is a pretty cool thing if you want to check it out." -Moist melodiesblog

"The peculiar band name comes straight from an old Bob Dylan lyric and musically this trio goes all the way back to the time before Dylan went electric. Statues Made Of Matchsticks’ formula is as easy as an acoustic guitar, a gentle banjo touch and beautiful female vocals. This is the type of music you want to listen at the break of day after a night at the summer cottage. " - GLUE.FI

"From Helsinki coming Statues Made of Matchsticks is a new three members-folk-band with two pieces now. Few days ago released June is the best Finnish folk for a while and I really like the banjo of week ago released Morning Sun. Statues Made of Matchsticks is made of nice acoustic sounds with clear woman vocals. The concept is working and it reminds me a bit of another new Helsinki based folk band I recommended last year, Greymouth. Both are great bands. Check 'em out." -So Happy Today Blog

"Toinen yhtyeistä on kotimainen juuri hiljattain Morning Sun kappaleensa julkaissut Statues Made of Matchsticks. Letkeää banjolla(!) maustettua folk popia soittava helsinkiläisyhtye tuo musiikillaan hyvin voimakkaasti mieleeni Scandinavian Music Groupin, jota yhtye onkin tainnut kuunnella kerran jos toisenkin. Tämänkaltaisella rennolla ja letkeällä otteella soitettua folkia on aina yhtä mukava kuunnella, sillä jostain syystä se aina onnistuu levittämään positiivista fiilistä ympärilleen" - Singin Drunken Lullabies Blog

"Laskeudutaampa nyt ihan oikean maan kamaralle. Seuraavaksi näytteensä tarjoaa helsinkiläinen Statue Made Of Matchsticks, joka soittaa mukavasti rullaavaa ja lämpöistä folkia. Yhtyeeltä tähän mennessä jakanut nettiin kuunneltavaksi vain kaksi kappaletta, jotka ihastuttavat aidolla ja rennolla menollaan. Kummatkin kappaleet löydät yltä, joten soitinta päälle! Plussaa yhtye saa myös kivasta banjostaan! " - Thunderstorm blogi

"Huhhahhei! Nyt täytyy heti alkuun todeta, että hetkeen mikään bändi ei ole löynyt minua yhtä sanattomaksi kuin Greymouth tällä kertaa. Kun Greymouthin ensimmäinen sinkku saapui loppuunsa, istua tönötin hetken hiljaa hämmentyneenä. Toivuttuani shokista pistin kappaleen soimaan uudelleen ja aloin keräilemään sekalaisia ajatuksiani, joita kuunnellessani olin rustannut paperille. Päällimäisenä mieleeni biisistä jäi ehdottomasti puhdas ja kaunis, mutta myös erittäin vahva laulu, joka porautuu suoraan selkäytimeen aiheuttaen suunnattomia kylmiä väreitä. Vaikka laulajaa nyt kovin hehkutankin ei muuta orkesteria pidä yhtään väheksyä. Soundillisesti biisi on täyteläistä, mutta silti jykevää kuin kallio ja yhdistettynä lauluun on lopputulos veret seisauttava kokonaisuus. Täytyy vielä mainita, että biisissä esiintyvä veikeä banjo!"

"Nyt on muuten potentiaalia. Ja aika hittolasti onkin. Folkahtavaa popmusiikkia Helsingistä maanläheisellä soundimaailmalla, taitavalla sävelten kuljetuksella ja poikkeuksellisen upealla laulajalla. Suoraan ns. suurten lupausten joukkoon."

"This December released single by from Helsinki coming Greymoth was the first release by the band. And if you don't believe me, listen. It's great. I'v never heard anything as the first steps of any band. For their models the band remarks Laura Marling and Fleet Foxes. No bad start. "The Boy" -single is awesome and I really love the combination of indie pop and folk!"

"After hearing only two songs, I am pretty convinced that Greymouth is going to be one of my favourites bands in 2012. Back in January I chose their first song ever published for the Music Alliance Pact post and now I cannot help posting their second song. The combination of the acoustic folk sounds of the band and Elisa Husu’s fantastic voice create some intense music that it is perfect for those indie folk moments. I can’t wait to hear some more."
