Urbantramper Album Release Tour 13th July 2007 - Press Release

"It's clear that this album is something pretty special, reminiscent of Gramsci and Age Pryor but going beyond both of these to plumb new depths of echoing instrumental layers. Urban Tramper's music is both mournful and joyous. It is homemade yet polished." - NZ Musician Mag
