Do you need more convincing to take home one of the most elaborate albums of the year??

'...much of the record owes a sizeable debt to Scott Walker, from the cryptic lyrics and the deep, velvety club-singer croon Turnbull often employs to the swirling ‘Jackie’-esque strings of ‘Heavy Splendour’ and ‘Shroud By The Sheetful’’s spiralling, off-key hook. Even “All This Wanting”, with its jaunty rolling piano and fuzz guitar, exudes an air of almost malicious mischief, making Hound a wholly satisfactory solution for those Walker fans who find themselves torn between the full-bodied melodrama of his earliest solo work and the often impenetrable soundscapes of the post-Climate Of Hunter years.' - The Quietus

'While this album will take a few listens for those unfamiliar with the challenges of incorporated orchestral and rock elements within a conceptual work; fans of the Jacques Brel-Scott Walker school of transgressive baroque will have found a new masterpiece to dissect for years to come. Those that can get behind the sometimes atonal, dead pan crooning, dark veiled setting arrangements and lurid subject matters will discover A Hound at the Hem to be one the best post-glam concept albums not made in the slippery 70s.' - Impose Magazine

'It’s all buoyed on a darkly seductive current, giving every soaring high a queasy, industrial chill. Slim Twig may fly the weirdo flag, but hey, where would you rather be: smoking crap drugs with Ed Sheeran, or hunting space aliens with Matt Bellamy? If the latter, get your creep on and hand your heart to A Hound at the Hem: a record to reclaim the ‘guilty pleasure’ tag for purposes altogether more sinister.' - Drowned In Sound
