“That’s nicely done, honestly Joe, I really like that… I don’t mean to blow smoke up your thingy, but it’s a really lovely piece of music” – Adrian Chiles, BBC Radio 5 Live
“These songs drip with a passion and deep pride in the area and the lyrics have a poetic beauty about them. Infant Hercules is a fine showcase for this talented young man” – Folk Radio
“Joseph’s debut is as powerful as it is intimate, ranging from a supple, poignant beginning to an epic mythical-esque anthem. Joseph’s vocal delivery rides the waves beautifully and brings the emotion of the lyrics to the fore. Pretty much an all round stunner.” – Fresh On The Net
“One of the most confidently existential songs we’ve heard and we can’t help but be intrigued.” – Ear To The Ground
“There’s no denying that he has that magic that makes a singer/songwriter memorable and magnetic to us all music lovers” – Wolf In A Suit
“Joseph’s voice has never sounded so vulnerable as the final track treads the familiar yearning for home theme that runs through much of the singer’s songwriting and the hummed outro heralds a more mature addition to the Cattle & cane stable and makes this EP an essential for fans of the band.” – Under The Hills Nearby
