“Rooted firmly in the world of low/no-fi folk, this is a charming record that recalls the same juxtaposition of fragility and strength of character that suffused the early Elliott Smith albums. Singer songwriter Kelly Dyson sounds a mite like Smith too, and whilst that’s nothing to be ashamed of, it’s when his straining voice blends with the gentler tones of Natalie Brightmore that the songs really kick off their shoes to dance in early morning embraces before flickering fires. And here too… there is a sense of underlying warmth and the suggestion of uplifting escape that infuses the melancholia.” – Tangents

“It’s sometimes sparse folk with reverberating strings, sometimes a little poppier, and the general tone is melancholic yet melodic. It was written around a relationship breakup so many of the lyrics have an intensely personal tone, as in the Conor Oberst angst on ‘One Good Thing I Say’: “I understand your pain but can’t figure out why”. Best track is ‘One Piece’ with its softly resigned alt.country air, which fizzles in the closing refrain: “I drowned myself in the morning/ and it took forever to do it”. ” - SoundsXP

“…Anyway, L are a duo combining the raw song-writing talent of main man Kelly Dyson and the classically trained angelic vocal of Natalie Brightmore. Together they produce a sound that is getting more and more common to our ears – alt-folk. But unlike finely tuned examples of this sound like the most recent Bright Eyes record, L are the first to admit that they take proceedings far less business like even allowing whining from their dog Pepsi to feature in the background because they “feel mean shutting her out while they record”. But don’t let light hearted tales of canine participation fool you in to thinking this is a light hearted record. With all of the songs written before, during and after the collapse of a long term relationship the record as a whole is an audio document of a long retreat home. Flickering and Fading is one of the best examples of the raw emotion present on this record and the fragile, angelic female vocal sits perfectly over the unrestrained male melody. ” – Subba-Cultcha

“As acoustic documents of the breakdown of a long-term relationships go, this is up there. Recorded lo-fi style – in a bedroom apparently – this affecting release combines breathless harmonies and fragile tunes to achieve a strange warmth. Also makes Belle & Sebastian sound like Motorhead.” – The Crack

“LLLLLLLLL combine the fragile voice of Kelly Dyson – a Badly Drawn Boy without the annoying songs or silly hat – and the feather light chirps of Natalia brightmore, singing harmony, into a warm blanket of homespun bedroom folk. Recorded at kelly’s various abodes in Carlisle and Buxton, North Derbyshire, their lo-fi sound is complemented by broken recording equipment and a muffled air conditioning system providing a barely noticeable background drone. And a dog called Pepsi, apparently. Charting the course of a failed relationship, the songs are lovelorn and bruised – certainly more of the Low Low Low than the La La La. Rest Your Arms is a beauty, the gentle chorus varying from ‘I know your arms are aching from holding things inside’, to ‘You know my arms are aching to be wrapped around your spine,’ in an entrancing lyrical poem, with wilting vocals close to tears. One Good Thing I Say and Roadkill Moon are other low-lit highlights.” – Maverick
