"John Lowndes is a virtuosic singer and acoustic guitarist...... With the ability to haunt with his modern blend of folk, atmospheric textures and sonic experiments Lowndes paints colourful images with words, melody and noise. In my humble opinion John Lowndes and Patchwork Rattlebag are truly one of the best kept secrets in the music underground today. But don't take my word for it, go forth and hear for yourself."
