With Apricot Rail, the label have stuck with their countrymen who have produced an interesting, largely instrumental debut… the use of woodwind instruments provide a pastoral beauty and by third track, ‘If You Can’t Join Them, Beat Them’ the Perth outfit nail an individual sound with aching melodies to the fore.”
