“This is an album of real craftsmanship and flair.Acoustic wizardry, deceptively gentle harmonies that only emphasise the bewilderment and sense of heartbreak in the lyrics,creates an experience that is complex and yet accessible to everyone.The instrumentals ‘Slumber’ and ‘For Want of a Better Name ‘ add richness and depth to the album.On some songs like ‘Once’ and ‘Life on Rent,’ the vocals slide away at critical points and there are problems moving between registers.In others such as ‘The Only One,” Stu’s perfectly nuanced delivery draws the listener in and when the song is repeated with a piano accompaniment becomes even more spare and bleak – a haunting conclusion to the album. The whole shimmers with emotion but never becomes maudlin and as lyrics and images impress themselves into your mind leaves the listener realising that this is an album that is impossible to listen to just once. Follow link for full review.”

— Lisa Parker, The LP Project

“Opening up with an almost Karma Coma ethnic drumming rhythm the track falls into an acoustic folk guitar. Straight away you have to love the way they have blended these elements to make a unique track. It feels like a relaxing calming track, but stop and pay attention to the lyrics, and it has a darker edge. The track sways in and out carrying you through verse and chorus helping you drift away. My favorite thing about the track has to be vocal harmonising on the choruses it's so warm and welcoming. It's somehow a little hypnotising. When the track finishes the silence sems unsettling. It would be a great opening track to an album setting you up perfectly to want to investigate more. Although I have only reviewed this track I was inquisitive and listened to more of the band's stuff and now have a new-found love for acoustic guitars.”

— Stuart Braybrooke, The Colchester Circle

“Stu is currently finishing his studies as a student at Colchester Institute. Stu has been on the scene for some time now originally being renowned for his rock/metal playing in the local area. He has now turned his hand to a more relaxed and laid back genre of music. Playing a vast array of acoustic, alternative and folk rock music, this is an act that is not to be missed. After playing a few events of ours using a variety of different formats from solo to whole band. Each time providing a different atmosphere to enthusiasm to the event. This is why he has adopted the 'Stu E. Skinner Experience' as each performance is certain not to be the same as another? Stu has just finished his eagerly awaited album which can be purchased for a mere £5 - Bargain!
