Casual Band Blogger (AUS) :
One of the most unique sounds I have heard this year - filled with dark folk melodies, Paine has created a soulful masterpiece.

Brilliant move - a raw slice of folk just this side of punk.

The Music (AUS) :
4/5 stars
This earthy, alt-country singer-songwriter's excellent new stripped-back release is steeped in the sound of America's South. Sally Away is a jangly, melancholic opener with gothic elements that set the tone for a raw and slightly mournful collection. Listening to the EP you could easily imagine Paine plucking away in an old barn, or a haystack, on the side of a highway. Its familiar and comforting while conveying some world-weariness, but it's certainly not stale. Chasing Winter also features some beautiful slide guitar.
