A couple of quotes from reviews for Self-Developing Country:
"With a voice that sometimes sounds like it's right before its owner goes over the edge, there is hint of madness in it, like a fire and brimstone preacher. On ten fantastic songs...American with dark undertones...a beautiful record that deserves all of the attention it is going to get."
Firdaposten 6/6

"Impressive, distinctive debut, Self-Developing Country is one of the more special albums you'll hear this year. It has character."
Dagbladet 5/6
