KUDOS FOR THE UNFAITHFUL WAYS

“There have been a few Kiwi alt-country/folk ensembles in recent years; many of them seem to lack authenticity…But The Unfaithful Ways have found a way in; there's something utterly believable about this music; that it should come from New Zealand and channel a version of Americana.” Simon Sweetman, Blog On The Tracks Best Kiwi Albums of 2011

“Their music often sounds like it was written by men much older than their fresh faced years. They're old souls in youthful disguise, which gives their songs an appeal that is hard to define.” Lydia Jenkin, NZ Herald

4/5 Shane Gilchrist, Otago Daily Times

“If, like me, you know that some of the best, most heartbreaking and wonderful songs come from country music (and it’s really nothing to do with line-dancing) then The Unfaithful Ways will make an excellent addition to you record collection with this debut album.” 4/5 Andrew Tidball, Cheese On Toast

“Wonderfully pictorial, the extravagant instrumentation and arrangements utilized across the record conjure all the classic motifs of Americana (camp fires, horses galloping across fields, small country towns, etc) as filtered through a decidedly New Zealand "Southern Man" lens. “ 8/10 Martyn Pepperell, Under The Radar
