What people said about There Are No Maps For This Part Of The City.
‘A lovely album. A late contender for one of the best of the year.’ – Gideon Coe, BBC 6 Music
‘It’s the sort of record that they – the Mark Eitzels and the Paddy McAloons – used to make. An adult pop record with heart and brains.’ – The Guardian
‘A compelling end of year treat… perfectly attuned to winter’s lonely, dark nights.’ – Drowned in Sound
‘The songs glow with a sense of sincere, melancholic wonderment… An album to get lost in.’ – The List
‘A heartbreaking and delicate album… a great piece of work.’ – Sunday Mail
‘Majesty enough to keep Eaton strides ahead of the curve.’ –The Skinny
‘Unquestionably the best thing he’s ever done. I perhaps shouldn’t start off by comparing it to other albums, but when you see the ones I do, you will understand: Brian Eno’s Music For Airports. The Blue Nile’s Hats. Virginia Astley’s From Gardens Where We Feel Secure. Yes. That good, that special.’ – Is This Music
