It’s smooth and cool in it’s delivery with fuzzy guitars and thumping drums. You’re instantly taken to a wild west kind of a vibe when pressing play on this one."
(Danger In Me - AAA Backstage)
"It's like a wild-west psych-rock track. The gloomy, mind-bending number features the organ; layers of smooth, clean guitar licks over guitar stabs; and a menacing, low-pitched vocal performance from Jake Johnson that's caked in a gritty distortion."
(Seventh Fever Of The Mind - Aus Music Scene)
"Guitar tones generate goosebumps and Jake's vocals linger with a purpose to draw you down a path to epic rock hangs."
(EP/1 - Scenestr)
"From intimate stories of mental health to escapism, EP/1 not only reveals Jake’s talent to craft raw, visceral sounds – but his own daring personality to share his most vulnerable moments."
(AuPium)
