Press Quotes for Chris T-T

Sunday Times (Top 5 Album of the Year 2003) –
“Fantastically intricate masterpieces… utterly indispensable… genius… a modern-day Blake.”

The Guardian (4 Stars) –
“The genius of Chris T-T’s songwriting is his ability to humanise even the most outlandish conceits. They seem instead like brilliant ideas that no-one else could’ve come up with.”
