• “I absolutely love that” Mark Radcliffe – Radcliffe and Maconie BBC6Music
• “I absolutely love it, you are going to hear a lot more of this lot. A brilliant album that Iam really enjoying.
  Stuart Maconie – Freak Zone BBC Radio 6 Music October 2015

• Single You Send Me Up was placed at number 8 in the 7”s of the year by Finest Kiss
• Played shows across country including supporting Cantaloupe, Sauna Youth, Snack Family, Barringtone and a Resonance FM session plus plays on WFMU New York amongst others
• NME Bandcrush of the Week by MJ of Hookworms, “Pretty far out, but at the heart of it there’s some really great pop songs” – MJ, Hookworms
• “I absolutely love it, you are going to hear a lot more of this lot. A brilliant album that I’m really enjoying. Reminds me of everything from Seventh Wave to Prefab Sprout and Emerson Lake and Palmer.” – (on ‘Gurglefirst’) Stuart Maconie BBC 6Music
• Gurglefirst? is their first Long Player
  The album was lovingly recorded by MJ from Hookworms and features artwork of the destruction of Shipley Clock by famed illustrator Kenn Goodall.
• Gurglefirst? is a multi-hued Fender Rhodes driven pop-trip whose influences include Jim O’Rourke, Steely Dan, High Lamas, Deerhoof Prefab Sprout, Cardiacs, Kraftwerk, Yellow Magic Orchestra, Robert Wyatt, Chicago, Pink Floyd and Van der Graaf Generator.
• Press about ‘Gurglefirst?’
• “Gurgles still aren’t afraid to swirl their myriad influences together in odd and sometimes incongruous ways to produce something that’s quite a headtrip. If progressive pop doesn’t yet exist as a concept, then Gurgles will surely be hailed at some point in the future as its exemplars. Twittery analogue synths float around shimmering pop
  harmonies, and there are some insistent grooves too” – Whisperin’ and Hollerin’
• ‘Fantastic band…Prog elements like Yes and Nice, dare I say it AOR elements, which are a really nice move like the McCartney 2 album, plus proggy math-rock mayhem. But it all fitstogether and its all really clever. Interesting poetic lyrics. Really impressed’ – Postmusic
• “These songs are clever – that is musically clever and lyrically clever – and make from their influences some poppy melodies driven by some frankly wonderful keyboard playing. This stuffis groovy” – Local Sound Focus
• “…the power of prog, the drama of opera and the AOR grooves of the 70’s and turns them on their head with a kind of left of field madness that Zappa would be proud of…Add to that poetic moments ala Terry Durham and free-jazz ala Nice…Well this is a bit special!” – Jumbo
  Records
• “simultaneously enraging and brilliant” – Norman Records
• “I absolutely love that” – Mark Radcliffe – Radcliffe and Maconie BBC6Music
• “I absolutely love it, you are going to hear a lot more of this lot. A brilliant album that I am really enjoying. Reminds me of everything from Seventh Wave to Prefab Sprout and Emerson Lake and
  Palmer.” – Stuart Maconie – Freak Zone BBC Radio 6 Music October 2015
• And about other releases…….
• “Gurgles construct multi-coloured song-structures soaked in psychedelic flavours. At the heart of both songs here are muscular pop melodies that combine with an almost Steely Dan-esque
  proficiency” – Rough Trade
• “Gurgles have just released their first single and it’s quite a delight. It’s light and airy and full of life. Think High Llamas, Steely Dan, Jim O’Rourke, Prefab Sprout and Chicago. The keyboards pump
  sound out like they’re powered by a steam engine while the singing verges on new age gospel. I know. When I first heard it I wasn’t sure, but I found myself hitting play again and again, and the next thing I know I find myself buying the single. Recorded by MJ of Hookworms, so the sound is raw and bleeds a little to make this otherwise slick sounding record oscillate with just enough grime.
  What an opening salvo for this brand new band!” – The Finest Kiss

‘Gurglefirst? is a record that begs to be blasted, but don’t worry if you don’t have one of those expensive hi-fi’s it sounds just as good bleeding into your ears from a pair of cheap ear buds.’
