Press

“From the strong opening song: "The Lemon At The Centre Of The Universe" through to "Malevolent Black Snow" - we hear a set of compositions that are a delight to the ears. Especially after a couple of listens. There are different genres on show here but the beauty of this CD is that variety and those pleasing sonics.And you'd expect that with song titles like: "Christopher Walken"! My personal favourites are: "The Lemon At The Centre Of The Universe"; "Cabaret" [just how many band names can you fit in a song?]; "Tape Recorders Changed Everything" [an affectionate love song to the C-60 and C-90 et al but also a superb track!]; "St. George And The Dragon" and "The Birds And The Bees And Jaime".”

“Eclectic, and eccentric!”

— Damon Roots

“ Hailing from Rowley Regis, the C.O.W. revolves around one man band Peter Hackett. Tonight he was augmented by fellow guitarist Alan Porter & two laptops at their inaugural gig. I honestly did not know what to expect, but they were a wonderful surprise. The short set comprised of songs reminiscent of such luminaries as Beck, They Might Be Giants, a little Badly Drawn Boy, a smidgeon of XTC, and in ‘We Have The Right To Starlite’, an instrumental worthy enough to sit happily on Air’s landmark ‘Moon Safari’ album. They even finish on a slightly twisted version of ‘Highway To Hell’ for God’s sake. Simply a breath of fresh air, different to anyone else I’ve seen in a while, and an act to keep a watchful eye on. Check them on MySpace & Reverbnation & see for yourselves. ”

— Baz Bojak, Itsalivezine August 2010

“ Very poppy electronica (reminds me a bit of Whitetown) with autotuned male vocals...really love the little chorus that is a plea to a handful of deities like Jesus and Buddha to save his soul. With a pretty healthy listing of influences, I’m sure this guy has a computer stocked full of little projects. ”
