"The music is stripped to its essentials: percussion, voice, and single-note keyboard lines lifted from the Pac-Man console wedged into the dustiest corner of an abandoned arcade" - Reverb Raccoon

"There is tender anguish writ large here, spliced together with a vulnerability heralding the arrival of a singular musical talent" - Further.

"Barton has a really good voice, he’s different, he plays a lot of instruments, records in his own studio, he’s experimental – who does that remind you of?  Dare I say…shades of the late great purple man himself – Prince" - The Music Files

"Suave '50s rock plays out with a sneering bass-hook to start... [it] sounds dirty and mischievous from the jump" - Velvet Independent

"Similarly to [Morrissey, Nick Cave, and Tom Waits], his storytelling is always at the forefront led by his memorable vocals" - Diana Listens

"[Ingenious] musical experimentation, as Barton combines sinister high points with delirious ‘crooner’ vocal lows" - Becky and the Bands

"[Unique] blend of bedroom pop/lo-fi goodness" - AAA Backstage

"A mesmerising, longing, stripped-back hail to 1960s girl-groups" - Turtle Tempo
