Press

“93 Million miles From The Sun have created a masterpiece.First track 'The Times We Have Are Now' is everything 93M are capable of and is glorious. "Yesterday Morning' quickly demonstrates the pounding drumbeats which introduce this track declare it an altogether harder edged creature for make no mistake, 93M are a ROCK group, and as the rhythm patterns shift and collide across the distant vocal, the instrumentation stomps onwards remorselessly, like some kaleidoscopic thunderstorm that refuses to end. 'Gone For Today' takes a metallic techno start point and breaks into a soaring guitar riff which suddenly drops into a drum & bass noir frenzy, 'From Here' is proto-glam energy that rewrites the entire canon of early 70s excess, It's Spacemen 3 and the Bunnymen jamming in an industrial museum. It is 70 minutes of music that points exactly the direction that what we listen to is about to take.' 93 Million Miles From The Sun' is the best album of its kind.”

— Jim Gordon, Tasty Fanzine

“Thank heavens for small mercies, as 93 Million Miles From The Sun not only manage to dampen stereotypes, but their self-produced, self-titled debut long player could (whisper it) just be one of 2009's most exquisite offerings on the album front. Combining layered, textured guitars over an array of effects and choral vocals, 93 Million Miles From The Sun is one of those records that, while evoking memories of the likes of Slowdive in their heyday or even a more sonically enhanced Maps, stands tall and proud in its own right due to the dazzling range of variation across its thirteen tracks. Another key element of 93 Million Miles From The Sun's extensive make-up is that not only do they express a desire to take their sonic experimentation one step further, but they also never lose sight of the fact that beneath all the reverb and delay lay actual songs that would sound just as affecting stripped down. 8.5/10”

— Dom Gourlay, Drowned In Sound

“93MillionMilesFromTheSun, head off on an LSD tinged journey across the stars, lead by swirling walls of guitar that pretty much bury everything else. The My Bloody Valentine presence lies heavily across these tracks, unashamedly dream pop in origin, but few have pulled this off so convincingly, or with as much panache. The supposed existence of a shoegaze revival would seem to bode well for these two effects junkies from Doncaster, and if the tracks from the myspace page are anything to go by, they should be pretty intense live, the kind of band that makes you hear colours and taste sounds before waking up in a field, wondering what the hell happened to you the night before. Melodically speaking, if you can hear the melodies, there are even vague hints of bands such as the Stone Roses and Ride, proving that it's not all guitar wash, and that there's a real sense of songwriting underpinning the whole operation http://www.popboks.com”
