“Sarah King murders the murder ballad. Atmospheric and haunted folk...with touches of soul and gospel” - Ray Padgett
“Sarah King’s tracks on The Hour feel somehow secret and special, something you might gladly discover walking into the back room of a darkened pub, a spell to be woven.”
“A superb five-track EP from the dark and brooding side of Americana.” - Alan Fitter
