“11 songs of restrained beauty and quiet observation....Beautiful”
3RRR FM’s Trip Magazine
" the most beautiful voice on the indie scene"
ABC Radio
“one of the finest songwriters to emerge from Melbourne….Stunning records like this don’t come along everyday. It’s hard to describe
music as sensuously beautiful as this; harder still to even believe it actually exists”
Inpress Magazine
“the sonic equivalent of endless longing”
Editor’s review Download.com (USA)
“…remarkable. Each piece is beautifully understated and realised with only judicious embellishment although lead track ‘Blue’ is the stand out – a kind of antipodean crush of gravity and scale, taut and fraught, a breakdown in the desert, beyond belief.”
Beat Magazine
“McCubbin channels the pitch-black romanticism and solemn vocal style of both Leonard Cohen and the late, often great Triffid, David McComb”.
Sydney Morning Herald
“A stella album…outstanding”
Heard Magazine
“A heavenly voice appears and rocks you gently to sleep, melting away all your troubles and calming the seas”
Beat Magazine
“Understated and brilliant….a release of reassuring beauty”
Beat Magazine
“Dead Pilot is a treasure: a rich dark collection of sometimes harrowing, always mesmerising songs and deeply affecting vignettes”
Sydney Morning Herald
“A real grower, one that reveals different shades with each play”
Courier Mail
"Andrew McCubbin's music is dreamy, effusive, multi-layered, understated and often hypnotically inviting"
Oztracks (ABC)
“Andrew McCubbin taps into a rich vein of Australian music exemplified by The Blackeyed Susans, Jackson Code etc. Employing acoustic instruments,
he creates a tapestry of shifting moods around his brooding songs.”
Ed Nimervoll JB Hi Fi MAG
“As a purveyor of smouldering lullabies, Andrew McCubbin and his Hope Addicts are second only to the profound gothic atmospherics of Nick Cave and his Bad Seeds. Cherished overseas, now is the time for Andrew McCubbin and The Hope Addicts to make Australian's hearts tremble.”
City Search
“Remember when you first saw your favourite ever film and you felt sorry for everyone who wasn’t in the cinema? Andrew McCubbin and the Hope gigs are a lot like this."
