“Gustaffson is in the great tradition of North West musical storytellers – a line that runs back from Elbow and I Am Kloot to Buzzcocks and The Hollies. It takes a lot of guts to write so openly and emotionally about things that matter. It takes a voice like Andrew Gower’s to carry those tunes with a vulnerability and rage that takes me on a journey that I didn’t know I needed.”

Peter Bowker – Screenwriter (Marvellous, Eric & Ernie)

“Gustaffson’s love of music shines through their many wonderful songs. Andrew’s passionate vocals reach and swoop and dive and dip in moving ballads like Northern Baby, and pack a powerful punch in gritty blues-driven tracks like Champagne Socialist.”

Nathan Barr – Composer
(True Blood, The Great)

“Gustaffson’s ‘The Jacaranda’ has an earthy organic vibe that can only come from a crystal clear vocal surrounded by well-played and recorded live instruments. Great writing.

In the best way, I get an Al Green vibe as I listen. These expressive songs are carried by Andrew’s raw yet rich voice. Highly recommended!”

Bear McCreary – Composer: The Walking Dead

“Gower’s effortless understated delivery is particularly impressive given the heart-stopping honesty of his beautifully crafted words and then he unfurls the main sail and wallop – its love.

Can’t believe Craig didn’t invite me to work on it“

Guy Garvey – Elbow

“Rich, Beautiful and Soulful. Gustaffson is a great balladeer. Soaring heartfelt vocals, perfect arrangements and pristine production make this EP very special. Get some. Love it.”

Peter Jobson – I Am Kloot

“It’s undefinable in a way – there isn’t a track like it, it kind of carves out its own genre of sophisticated bass-driven pop.

With the quality of the songwriting and the Elbow connection, I can only see great things happening for Andrew and the band.”

Nigel Carr – Louder Than War
