“"Words that came to my mind while listening were lush, epic, melodic, dramatic, but also intimate - they're not songs that come 'at' you, they creep up, they want to have a conversation with you, they want to have a drink, they want to sit next to you at the bar" ” - Jade O'Donohue (Three D Radio)
“The Midnight Mares have poured their cumulative song writing and musical experience into a brilliant batch of songs and created a sound descended from Australian acts like the Bad Seeds, Triffids, Died Pretty. There’s strong influence from British acts such as The Smiths and the Cure and some Americana thrown in too - a song like ‘Be Still’ would have suited Johnny Cash in his later years.” - sonic.vandals
