REVIEWS IN FULL:

Jockrock
"Astonishing debut single from men of mystery from somewhere in the leafy Glasgow suburbs. White Light Unknown is a haunting (musically & lyrically) little ditty, with just the slightest beat to propel it along. Inhabit is somehow less upbeat, the fragile vocals hardly getting going. We have seen queues of enquiring music fans form at the DJ booth in clubs when this has been played. Which is probably some sort of recommendation."

Losing Today
" …a fine debut from Glaswegian band Calamateur and first release for the newly formed Timshel label. Absolutely no details with this except that it's extremely limited to 100 pressings so purchase on sight because I certainly think that those of you with a love for gentle pop will want a part of this. 'White Light Unknown' features some softly spun acoustics, timidly sparse in approach, nothing too threatening but possessing the kind of delicate use of vinyl grooves that deserves one of those sit down and contemplate it all moments in life. 'Inhabit' is my personal favourite of the two tracks, slightly more happening here but again providing one of those moments where your head says nothing really out of the ordinary happening here but your heart suggests otherwise, trembling as if touched by something altogether magical. File away with the fragile whispers of Galaxie 500."

Track and Field
"Starting with a delicately picked tune and hushed vocals that recall Elliot Smith’s most sensitive moments, this single gradually grows into a beguiling, bleary eyed, late night glory. Seek it out, great things could follow.'

The List
" …is a thing of great beauty as their stark acoustic melodies float along with sparse but emotive backing."

Boomkat
"Effortless two track single from indie collective Calamateur. Soft restrained acoustica is the order of the day with mournful vocals and delicate instrumentation dominating both songs....lovely.”
