We say

We were early on Jack, featuring The Horizon Has Been Defeated from his last album. he was clearly in the ascendancy then but we cannot claim to have predicted the scale of his rise which is starting to look astronomical. His current In Between Dreams album will next week have sold one million over the counter in the US within its first three months. Following on from some strong press, Good People is the single to break him into the UK mainstream, with both Radio 1 and Radio 2 on board. 'A global cult figure waiting to explode' - SundayT imes 'Hailed as the 21st century Bob Dylan.' - Mail On Sunday 'He sounds at times like Lou Reed, albeit with a somewhat healthier lifestyle' - Daily Mail 'The man once described by Radiohead's Thom Yorke as a "human drum kit" used to be the surfing community's best kept secret. Not any more...' - Daily Express 'The most seductive style this side of Norah Jones.' - Daily Mirror
